- To your stand mixer add the butter and sugar to a stand mixer with the beater attachment on medium speed until lightened in color and fluffy, about two minutes.
- Add in the vanilla, egg and finally the cooled melted chocolate.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt and add it into the stand mixer on low speed until just combined.
- Scoop with a 1 tablespoon measure into a bowl of sugar and roll in the sugar (try not to touch the dough too much).

Notes
- Use a tablespoon scoop for uniform cookie sizes that bake evenly.
- Roll dough balls lightly in sugar to create a subtle crunchy coating.
- Immediately pressing the Hershey's Kisses into warm cookies allows them to soften without melting completely.
