You’ll need:
- 1 batch of no spread sugar cookies (or one roll of refrigerated sugar cookie dough)
- ½ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup of coarse sanding sugar
- 26 Hershey’s milk chocolate kisses
PRO TIP:
You could roll the cookie dough in colored sanding sugar or use another variety of Hershey’s kisses for decoration/flavor.
Substitutions And Additions
HERSHEY KISSES: You could choose any flavor of kisses to top your chocolate kisses cookies.
Dark chocolate or even caramel kisses would be a yummy twist to this delicious cookie recipe.
SANDING SUGAR: If you are not able to find sanding sugar, you can use granulated sugar for these chocolate candy kisses cookies.
How To Make This Chocolate Kiss Cookies Recipe
STEP ONE: Use a hand mixer and a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer, on medium speed, to mix the sugar cookie dough and the cocoa powder thoroughly until a dough forms.
STEP TWO: Cover chocolate cookie dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about one hour.
PRO TIP:
Don’t skip the chilling step as it will help avoid ending up with flat cookies.
STEP THREE: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
STEP FOUR: Use a cookie scoop to form even balls of dough. Roll balls in the palm of your hands to shape dough into a smooth cookie.
STEP FIVE: Roll dough ball in a shallow bowl filled with the coarse sugar until completely coated.
STEP SIX: Place the balls 1½ inches apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Flatten the top of the cookies just a bit with the palm of your hand to help them spread evenly.
