(Makes about 22 cookies)

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter, softened (equivalent to 1 stick)
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (equivalent to 5.3 ounces)
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I sift mine so it’s easier to mix, but it’s not required.)
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 22 kiss shaped candies (I used Hershey’s Kisses Chocolates.)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Lay a silicone mat or parchment paper on top of a baking sheet and set it aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar.
3. Mix in the eggs.
4. Add in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt and mix until everything is combined.  Note that the cookie dough will be soft and sticky.
5. Put the powdered sugar in a separate small bowl.
6. Scoop about 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of cookie dough directly it into the powdered sugar bowl and roll it around into a ball until it’s well coated.  I used the OXO good grips medium cookie scoop.  Don’t try to roll the dough before you coat it with the powdered sugar because it’s way too sticky and will get all over your hands.
7. Place the rolled cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheet and bake them for 11 to 13 minutes or until the tops have a crackled look.  (I baked mine for 11 minutes.)
8. As soon as they come out of the oven, gently place 1 chocolate kiss in the middle of each cookie.
9. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.
