Handle Cookies
Such a pretty and fun cookie to make! Enjoy with an ice cold glass of milk.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 Cups Flour
- 2/3 Cup Baking Cocoa
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 Cup Butter Softened
- 3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 2/3 Cup Brown Sugar packed
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 2 Large Eggs
- 36 Dark Chocolate Hershey Kisses You could really use any kind of candy kiss but we prefer dark chocolate.
- Granulated Sugar For rolling the cookies in
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a small bowl, set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy; about 3 minutes.
- Next add the vanilla and mix until combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Now gradually beat in the flour mixture. Be careful to not overmix. Mix until just combined.
- Take a cookie scoop* (link at bottom of blog post) and scoop a cookie into your hand rolling it in your hands and then in granulated sugar. Do not flatten.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes or until they begin to crack. While they are baking you can unwrap your Hershey kisses.
- Take the cookies out of the oven, let cool for 2 minutes on baking sheet.
- Then place a chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie.
- Move to a wire rack and cool completely before putting them in an airtight storage container.
- Enjoy with a cold glass of milk. So good.
Notes
- These also freeze well. Just take out of the freezer and let come to room temperature or pop one or two in the microwave on defrost for a bit and they wtaste like they just came from the oven.
