Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 ½ cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups flour
  • ⅔ cup cocoa powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup Sparkling Sugar
  • 24 Hershey's Kisses

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  3. Use an electric mixer to mix the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  5. Place sparking sugar on a small plate. Scoop 1 tablespoon balls of dough and roll them in the sugar. Put them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are slightly flatter and crackled on the top. Unwrap the Kisses while the cookies bake.
  7. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and immediately press a Kiss in the center of each cookie. Let cool completely before removing to wire racks.

Notes

  • If your dough feels too soft or sticky to work with, pop it in the fridge for 15-30 minutes. Chilling will make it easier to roll into balls.
  • To make perfectly uniform cookies, portion the dough out using a small cookie scoop (about 1 tablespoon).
  • I like to roll these in sparkling sugar to make them glitter. You could also use powdered sugar for more of a snowy vibe.
  • When set and slightly cracked on top, take the cookies out of the oven. They may look a bit underbaked, but they'll continue to cook and firm up as they cool on the baking sheet.
  • You can use whatever Hershey's Kiss flavor you like. I usually use classic milk chocolate Kisses, but hot cocoa Kisses are really good in this recipe, too!
