Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners; set aside. Meanwhile, add 1/3 cup granulated sugar to a small bowl; set aside as well.
In a large bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until creamy and light, about 1 minute. Beat in the egg and vanilla and mix well. Lastly, add in the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda and salt and mix on low speed until just combined.
Using a Tablespoon-size cookie dough scoop, portion out rounded Tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into the granulated sugar. Place 2" apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 7-8 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking time to ensure even cooking. Cool on the baking sheets for about 5-7 minutes, then carefully press a Hershey's Kiss candy in the center of the cookies.
Let the cookies cool completely and allow the Kisses to harden before storing or serving.
Notes
If you cannot find the Hershey's Cookies & Cream Kisses, you can always try Hershey's Hugs which are chocolate and vanilla swirl.
