Description
Hershey Kiss Chocolate Cookies are a delightful treat that combines the sweetness of sugar cookies with rich cocoa powder and topped with a delicious Hershey’s chocolate kiss.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16.5 oz refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup coarse sanding sugar
- 26 Hershey’s milk chocolate kisses
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or standing mixer to thoroughly mix the sugar cookie dough and the cocoa powder.
- Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about one hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Use a cookie scoop to form even balls of dough. Roll the balls in the palm of your hands to form a smooth cookie.
- Roll each cookie dough ball in a shallow bowl filled with the coarse sugar until completely coated.
- Place the balls 1 ½ inches apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten the top of the cookies just a bit with the palm of your hand to help them spread evenly.
- Bake for 8-9 minutes or until the cookies are puffy and the dough no longer looks wet.
- Remove cookie sheet from the oven. Press a chocolate kiss gently into the top of each warm cookie and allow cookies to cool for a couple of minutes before carefully transferring to a cooling rack to cool the rest of the way.
Notes
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, consider adding chocolate chips to the dough.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- Chilling the dough is essential for the right cookie texture.
