Because these cookies are made with special dark unsweetened cocoa, they are not as sweet as regular cookies.

These special dark chocolate kiss cookies freeze well for later use.

Ingredients

• 1 Cup of Flour
• 1/3 Cup of Special Dark Baking Cocoa, (I used Hershey’s unsweetened brand)
• 1 Teaspoon of Baking Soda
• 1/2 Cup of Butter, soften to room temperature
• 1/3 Cup of Light Brown Sugar
• 2/3 Cup of Granulated White Sugar
• 1 Egg Yolk
• 1/2 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
• Unwrapped Chocolate Hershey Kisses
• Approximately 1/4 Cup of White Granulated Sugar to Roll Cookie Dough Balls in to coat

Directions

1. Combine flour, special dark baking cocoa, and baking power in a bowl.
2. In a medium size bowl beat butter until light and creamy.  Add the white sugar and light brown sugar.  Add vanilla extract and egg yolk.
3. Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and baking cocoa mixture on a slow speed.  Mix well.
4.  Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
5. Remove bowl from refrigerator and roll into one-inch size balls.  Roll the balls in granulated sugar and place of a parchment lined baking sheet.
6. Slightly push down on each cookie with the bottom of a glass or the palm of your hand.

8. Cool and remove from baking tray.

While cookies are cooling be careful not to touch the chocolate kiss as it is pretty soft at this point.

To quick cool place a small tray of cookies in the refrigerator for a few minutes.

Enjoy cookies with coffee, tea or milk.
