Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
1 large egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sanding sugar (can use granulated sugar)
44 Hershey's Kiss Chocolates, unwrapped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and both sugars until creamy and smooth. About 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Beat to incorporate.
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the butter mixture and beat on low speed until just mixed in.
Roll mixture into balls using 1 1/2 teaspoons of the dough for each cookie. Roll in the sanding sugar and place on the prepared baking sheet. Leave two inches of space between each cookie.
Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and place a Hershey's Kiss in the center of each cookie. Push the chocolate down into the baked cookie until you feel slight resistance.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes. Carefully transfer to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling or until the chocolate has hardened.
