Description
Delicious chocolate cookies rolled in nonpareils and topped with a Hershey’s Kiss.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup salted butter (melted, room temperature)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg (room temperature)
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup natural cocoa powder
- 1 tsp corn starch
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup nonpareils (for rolling)
- 24 Hershey Kisses
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla.
- Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Scoop dough into 24 even dough balls.
- Roll each in Christmas nonpareils.
- Place on the baking sheet and bake for 9 minutes, until edges are set but centers still look soft.
- Once they come out of the oven, use a round cookie cutter or bowl to gently scoot into a perfect circle and press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie.
- Let cool completely so the Kiss sets.
Notes
- For a festive touch, you can use red or green nonpareils instead of regular ones.
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for best results.
