Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 piece large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 24 pieces Hershey's Kisses chocolates

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat until well blended.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Step 6

Stir in the milk to make the dough smoother and easier to handle.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls, placing them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

Step 9

Immediately press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie as soon as they come out of the oven. The cookie will crack slightly around the edges, which is normal.

Step 10

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
