Time 1h20m

Yield 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, softened
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups red sprinkles
48 milk chocolate candies, such as Hershey's Kisses®

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until melted. Allow to cool.
  • Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter and cooled chocolate on medium speed until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition, then the vanilla. Scrape the sides of the bowl and continue to mix on medium speed until combined.
  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the mixer and mix until just combined.
  • Put the red sprinkles in a bowl. Scoop mounded tablespoons of the dough. Roll into balls and roll each ball in the sprinkles to cover completely. Place on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the cookies are poufy and set, about 10 minutes. When still warm, press a chocolate candy into the top of each. Let the cookies sit on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough, sprinkles and chocolate candies.

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL KISS COOKIES



Chocolate Caramel Kiss Cookies image

I make this cookie every Christmas with my family. It's a fun twist on a classic peanut butter blossom because of the cinnamon in the batter and the caramel kiss on top. We love the cinnamon-caramel combination, but you could switch out the kiss with a different festive flavor. -Kristen Heigl, Staten Island, New York

CHOCOLATE KISSES COOKIES



Chocolate Kisses Cookies image

This recipe was given to me by a family member of my DH I think, and was published in the Elk Ladies of "518" Nevada City, CA volumn III cookbook some eons ago. I make these especially at Christmastime, but not only for that time of the year, as my grandchildren ask for them as much as their mothers do whenever they come to visit. I have the kids unwrap the kisses, their favorite part about making these in the first place. Part of the preparation time is chill time, and I don't include unwrapping the kisses cuz the kids do that...lol. *** Just a bit of a warning due to some consternation of the part of people who have tried to make perfect little round balls from this recipe...these cookies do flatten out. If anyone gets them to make little perfect round balls please let us know how you did it.***

CHOCOLATE KISS COOKIE



Chocolate Kiss Cookie image

Categories     Chocolate     Cookies     Christmas     Dessert     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup All purpose flour
1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Butter
2/3 cup sugar
1 piece Egg yolk
2 tablespoons Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 dash Powdered sugar
25 pieces Hershey's kiss

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat baking mats and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer or using a handheld mixer, beat the butter on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the sugar and beat on medium-high speed until creamed, about 2 minutes. Add the egg yolk, milk, and vanilla extract, and beat on high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl and beat again as needed to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until combined. Pour the sprinkles into a small bowl. Roll the balls of dough, about 3 teaspoons of dough per cookie, then roll each ball into the sprinkles to coat. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake the cookies for 9-12 minutes. Check early to be safe. You want to take them out when they are still soft in the center. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Press the chocolate kisses into the center of each cookie. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Note-cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips are a good choice.
  • To make the cookies chewier, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough.
  • For a crispier cookie, bake for a few minutes longer.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.

Conclusion:

Chocolate kiss cookies are a classic and delicious treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect chocolate kiss cookies every time.
