Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two, large baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl with an electric handheld mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment), cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
- Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract. Mix until the batter has lightened in color, 2-3 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Toss in the mini chocolate chips.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
- Place the powdered sugar in a bowl or shallow dish.
- Scoop the dough into heaping tablespoon-sized balls (I use my #40 cookie scoop) and roll into a smooth ball shape (if the dough is too sticky, let it rest for 10-15 minutes or refrigerate for just a few minutes...I usually just scoop and roll right away because I'm too impatient).
- Roll each ball in the powdered sugar, shaking off the excess, and place several inches apart on the baking sheets.
- Bake for 9 minutes, until puffed and crackled (don't overbake!). Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Immediately press an unwrapped Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie. Remove the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Kisses: I highly recommend the candy cane variety of Hershey's kisses for this cookie. Also, freeze the unwrapped kisses so they hold their shape better after being planted on the warm cookies.
