Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter softened
  • 1⅓ cups granulated white sugar divided
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 20-24 Hershey's Cookies & Cream Kisses unwrapped

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.
