Chocolate Kiss Cookies
Chocolate kiss cookies are rich, fudgy, and super chocolaty! Made with simple ingredients and topped with a Hershey's Kiss.
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 12 hershey kisses
- Flaky sea salt for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined. Next, add the egg and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just until no large lumps of flour remain– you don’t want to overmix!
- Scoop out 1 tablespoon sized portions and roll them into smooth balls. Place them at least 2” apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, or just until the edges of the cookies are set– the center will still be a bit soft.
- (Optional) For perfectly round cookies, swirl the cookies inside of a round cookie cutter or circular glass when they come out of the oven.
- Immediately when the cookies come out of the oven, gently press a Hershey kiss onto the top of each one.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet (this will help them set fully) and then sprinkles with flakey sea salt before enjoying.
