Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for rolling)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 24 chocolate kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  3. In a separate bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a thick dough forms.
  6. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and roll each in extra granulated sugar.
  7. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes, until set but still soft.
  8. Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.
