Chocolate Mint Kiss Cookies
These chocolate mint kiss cookies give you cocoa cookies with mint truffle kisses on top, so every bite hits both flavors at once. They're soft and irresistible.
Servings: 24 cookies
Equipment
- Cookie Scoop or Small Spoon
- Baking Sheet 9 x 13-Inch
Ingredients
- ½ Cup salted butter softened
- ½ Cup white granulated sugar
- ½ Cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg large
- 1 ½ Cup all-purpose flour
- ½ Cup dark cocoa powder
- 1 Teaspoon baking powder
- ½ Teaspoon baking soda
- 12 mint truffle Hershey kisses
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Add the butter, brown sugar and white granulated sugar to a large mixing bowl.
- Use an electric hand mixer to whisk the ingredients together on high speed until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg and whisk again for about a minute, or until the egg is thoroughly beaten.
- Reduce the speed of your hand mixer, then whisk in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cocoa powder.
- Divide your cookie dough into 24 balls. Roll each ball in your hands until smooth and then place them on a large baking sheet or pair of smaller ones.
- Bake for 11 minutes.
- When your cookies come out of the oven, top each one with a Hershey kiss.
- Let your cookies cool for about 10 minutes and then move them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
Soften the butter, don’t melt it: You want butter that yields when you press it but still holds its shape so it creams cleanly with the sugar.
Unwrap kisses before you bake: Have the candy ready so you can press a kiss into each cookie the moment the tray leaves the oven.
Let the kisses set before moving: Leave the cookies on the tray until the kisses feel firm again so the tops keep their shape when you transfer or stack them.
