Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 24 pieces Chocolate kisses, unwrapped
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract and the egg until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place a chocolate kiss in the center of the dough and wrap the dough around it, rolling it into a smooth ball.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are just set. Do not overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and decoration.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
