Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the sugar in a bowl.
- In a large bowl, cream together the cookie dough, cream cheese, and cocoa powder until smooth and well incorporated.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to measure out the dough then roll into a smooth ball with your hands.
- Roll the balls in granulated sugar until well coated then place the cookies on baking sheet 2" apart.
- Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, edges should be set. Remove from oven and then press a peppermint kiss into the center of each cookie.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool. Let the kisses soften for 2-3 minutes then you can use your finger or a toothpick to gently swirl the kiss on top of the cookie or you can leave them whole and let them cool completely.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container. These cookies will stay good for up to 2 days in an airtight container at room temperature, after that, they will still be soft, but will be more crumbly than chewy.
- Change it up. Any flavor Hershey’s kiss can be used instead of peppermint if you want something for other occasions.
