Ingredients
Scale
- 7 tbsp butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/4 tsp red food coloring gel
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup red sanding sugar
- 18 Hershey’s chocolate kisses
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a stand mixer until smooth.
- Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, mixing until the dough comes together.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop 18 equal portions of dough and roll them into balls.
- Roll each dough ball in red sanding sugar until fully coated.
- Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
- For a variation, you can use white chocolate Hershey’s Kisses instead of the milk chocolate ones.
- If you don’t have red sanding sugar, you can use thicker granulated sugar for a similar effect.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate them for up to a week.
- Make sure to press the Hershey’s Kisses gently into the cookies to prevent them from cracking.
