Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
Roll each dough ball in the extra granulated sugar to coat.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still soft in the center.
Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie while they’re still warm.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a festive touch, roll the cookie dough in colored sugar before baking.
Try using different flavored chocolate kisses like caramel, mint, or almond for variety.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
