Chocolate Crinkle Kisses (Recipe from Anna) (Click to print PDF)
Makes about 3 dozen or more cookies depending on the size of each ball.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 bag of Hershey candy cane kisses (you’ll need just about 2 bags) – this cookie is also great with the Hershey caramel kisses.
- Icing sugar
Directions:
- In a large bowl, mix the melted butter with the cocoa powder and sugar.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and vanilla into the chocolate mixture.
- Slowly mix in all the dry ingredients until combined.
- Stir in the chocolate Chips.
- Cover and refrigerate 2 hours (this is important so they don’t end up flat).
Preheat oven to 350. - Roll dough into a small ball 1 inch in diameter (I used a tiny ice cream scoop!).
- Pour icing sugar in small bowl & roll each ball to coat.
- Place on parchment covered baking sheet leaving about 2 inches between the cookies (great for clean-up!).
- Bake for 6-7 minutes. Remove from oven and put 1 unwrapped Kiss on each cookie (squish in the centre of the cookie, tip pointing up). Return to Oven for 2 minutes more of baking.
- Let the cookies cool on the sheet, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
