For our Christmas baskets/platters in 2008, one of the goodies that was included (that we froze ahead of time) were Super Duper Chocolate Kiss Cookies.
I read about them in a magazine called Christmas Cookies and they were billed as a cookie to make with your kids, since they used premade cookie dough. I will note that making these following these directions was a bit messy, but the kids did enjoy helping.
Ingredients:
- 16.5 oz package of refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2/3 cup cup chocolate-flavored sprinkles
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 40 Hershey’s kisses, unwrapped (it called for dark chocolate, but we used regular ones, because I didn’t think they kids would care for the dark chocolate)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a large Ziploc bag, combine the cookie dough and cocoa powder. Seal the bag and knead it with your hands until the dough is well mixed. (Angie’s Note: These bags are going to get seriously messy inside, and it may be difficult to get everything out. If you are not making these with kids, I would not necessarily put them in the baggie. But, if you are, the baggie is a great way to have the kids help.)
3. Put chocolate sprinkles in a shallow bowl, and then the milk in another shallow bowl.
4. Remove the dough from the plastic baggie and start forming them into 1-inch balls.
5. Dip the balls in the milk, just to moisten them, and then roll them in the sprinkles.
6. Place these balls two inches apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
7. Bake for approximately eight minutes, or until the edges are firm.
8. Immediately press a Hershey’s kiss into the center of each cookie. Transfer the cookies onto a wire rack and let cool.
Makes approximately 36 cookies. These can be frozen for up to three months after baking them.
