Red Velvet Kiss Cookies


Red Velvet Kiss Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of kosher salt
- 7 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ½ tablespoon red food coloring
- ¾ cup granulated or sanding sugar
- 18 Hershey's Kiss chocolates, unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with a baking mat or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix everything together and set aside.
- Using a stand or hand mixer, cream together the butter, and both sugars on medium speed for 3-4 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla, and red food coloring, and mix until fully incorporated. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in 2 batches and mix at a low speed until just combined.
- Scoop the cookies with a small cookie scoop and roll in granulated or sanding sugar and place on the prepared pans, then refrigerate for 20 minutes (if time permits).
- Bake for 11-13 minutes. Remove from oven and quickly press a Hershey's Kiss chocolate into the middle of the cookie and allow them to cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!
