Ingredients
- ¾ cup cold unsalted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar, plus more for rolling
- ½ cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup melted chocolate
- 2 cups flour, all purpose or gluten free flour
- Hershey kisses
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter, sugar and brown sugar. Mix on high for 2 to 3 minutes, until completely creamy. Mix until no clumps of butter remain.
- Add in vanilla and egg. Stir to combine.
- Then, add in baking powder, cocoa powder and melted chocolate. Stir to combine.
- Add in the flour. Stir to combine.
- Add about 3 tablespoons of white sugar to a shallow bowl. Roll cookie into 1 inch balls. Roll each ball thoroughly in the white sugar.
- Place on baking pan at least 2 inches apart. These cookies spread slightly.
- Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until cookies look set around the edges.
- Remove from oven. Immediately press an unwrapped Hershey kiss in the middle of each cookie.
- Finally, allow cookies to fully cool before eating.
Notes
- Use cold butter right from the fridge. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too thin.
- Both regular all purpose flour and gluten free 1 to 1 flour work well. Do not use another flour.
- The cookie dough will be a little bit thick.
- Roll dough into equal size 1 inch balls.
- These cookies are soft and fragile after they bake.
- Immediately press the Hershey kiss into the middle of the cookie. Do not wait until they cool.
- Feel free to use another flavor of Hershey kiss.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freeze for 1 month if needed.
