Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 bag of Hershey Kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Shape the Cookies: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set. Remove from the oven and immediately press a Hershey Kiss into the center of each cookie.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
