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

  1. In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or standing mixer to thoroughly mix the sugar cookie dough and the cocoa powder.
  2. Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about one hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  4. Use a cookie scoop to form even balls of dough. Roll the balls in the palm of your hands to form a smooth cookie.
  5. Roll each cookie dough ball in a shallow bowl filled with the coarse sugar until completely coated.
  6. 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.
  7. Bake for 8-9 minutes or until the cookies are puffy and the dough no longer looks wet.
  8. 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.
