Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup light or dark brown sugar (tightly packed)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups powdered sugar (for rolling)
  • 3 dozen milk chocolate kisses (unwrapped)

Instruction

  • Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl using a hand mixer) and beat together until ingredients are well-creamed. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing until completely combined, and then mix in vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to your wet ingredients until completely combined.
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • After chilling, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare baking sheet by lining with parchment paper.
  • Roll dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized balls and roll thoroughly in powdered sugar.
  • Transfer to baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes. Do not overbake!
  • Within 1-2 minutes of removing cookies from oven, gently press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. Allow cookies to finish cooling completely on baking sheet before enjoying.
