These Halloween chocolate sprinkle cookies are easy to make, festive, and tasty. Once baked, the kiss becomes creamy, while the dough resembles a brownie.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (room temperature)
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Hershey's Special Dark cocoa
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- Halloween sprinkles (1-2 (3 oz) containers)
- 1 package of Hershey's dark chocolate kisses
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, beat butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Add cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Mix well. | |
| Step 3 | |
| Beat in egg and vanilla until combined. | |
| Step 4 | |
| Add flour and mix until incorporated, scraping down sides to thoroughly blend. | |
| Step 5 | |
| Refrigerate dough until firm, about 1 hour. | |
| Step 6 | |
 When firm, remove from fridge and divide into 38-40 pieces. Using the palm of your hand, shape the dough into round balls. | |
| Step 7 | |
 Carefully pour sprinkles onto a small plate. Roll the dough balls over the sprinkles until fully covered. Place the cookies onto two non-stick or buttered baking sheets and cook for 8 minutes. | |
| Step 8 | |
| Remove the cookies from the oven and quickly place a Hershey's kiss in the center of each cookie. Allow them to cool slightly, then serve. | |
