Ingredients
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tbsp red food coloring
24 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add egg, vanilla, vinegar, and red food coloring; mix until combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix just until combined.
6. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and coat each in granulated sugar.
7. Place on prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are set but centers are soft.
9. Immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each warm cookie.
10. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra sparkle, roll the dough balls in red sanding sugar before baking.
You can chill the dough for 30 minutes if it feels too soft.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
