Ingredients

  • 270 grams (2 ¼ cups) all-purpose flour
  • 21 grams (¼ cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 4 oz (½ cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 248 grams (1 ¼ cup) granulated sugar, plus more for topping
  • 4 oz bittersweet chocolate, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp mint extract
  • 55 Hershey's Mint Truffle Kisses (One 9 oz bag will work)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350º F.
  2. Remove the foil wrappers and paper from the Hershey kisses and set aside.
  3. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl and set aside.
  4. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter, sugar, and melted chocolate on medium speed until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, followed by the mint extract.
  6. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture and mix until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  7. Chill the entire bowl for about 10 minutes.
  8. Using a 1 tablespoon scoop, form cookies into balls and place each next to the other on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Pop the cookie sheet in the fridge to chill for about 5 minutes.
  9. Pour some granulated sugar in a small bowl and roll each cookie in the sugar.
  10. Place each cookie a few inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are firm around the edges.
  11. Immediately add a Hershey Mint Truffle kiss to the center of each cookie once it comes out of the oven, pushing down just enough for it to adhere.
  12. Let the cookies cool for about 10 minutes on the baking sheet before carefully moving them to a cooling rack. Continue this process until all cookies are baked. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Leftover cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week but are best when enjoyed within the first few days.
  • Cookie dough can be made ahead, scooped and placed in a ziploc bag to be frozen for up to two months. Once you’re ready to bake, let the dough sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes and bake. You’ll need to add on an extra few minutes or so to the original baking time
  • Looking for a smaller batch? You can divide the recipe in half for about 27 cookies or so.
