Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, natural cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Scoop out 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of dough, roll into balls, and coat with granulated sugar, sprinkles, or powdered sugar.
  7. Place the coated balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake the cookies for 7-8 minutes, or until puffy and slightly crackled.
  9. Immediately press an unwrapped Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie.
  10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
