Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix 18.2 ounces, dark chocolate
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 egg
- 1/4 cup butter melted, unsalted
- 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup candy canes crushed, or peppermints
- 44 hershey kisses
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix and flour together.
- Once the flour is mixed, stir in the eggs, melted butter, chocolate syrup, and vanilla until combined.
- Add the chocolate chips and gently mix them into the batter.
- Use a one-tablespoon cookie scoop to create cookie dough balls.
- Roll each cookie dough ball in the granulated sugar until fully coated on the outside.
- Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet (about 1 1/2" apart - they can be pretty close), and bake for 7 minutes. Unwrap the Kisses while the cookies bake.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and garnish with crushed peppermint or crushed candy canes.
- Top with a peppermint Hershey Kiss.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 8-9 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes
- If you find that your cookie dough is too soft and sticky to roll into balls, try chilling it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
- Do not add the crushed peppermint before baking; it will melt and make a mess. Sprinkle it on top of the hot cookies after baking.
- Make sure you don't overbake the cookies, as they can quickly go from soft and chewy to dry and crumbly if left in the oven too long. I find 7 minutes is the perfect time for a cookie that's crisp on the edges but still fudgy and tender in the middle.
- Remember that Hershey's Kiss will be pretty soft and delicate until the cookies have cooled completely. So handle them as little as possible until they cool.
- I like dark chocolate brownie mix, but use whatever type you prefer.
