Chocolate Kiss Cookies Recipe!

Chocolate Kiss Cookies are full of chocolate and buttery goodness! These delectable bites of heaven don’t contain peanut butter so they are great for those with nut allergies!

I don’t know about you but there is just something about chocolate and butter that just make life better.

Some of my favorite reasons to make these cookies are that they use ingredients that are already in the pantry, the recipe goes together quickly, and they are perfect for holidays, special occasions, or just any reason at all!

Before you start making this chocolate cookie recipe, here are a few helpful tips:

WHAT INGREDIENTS ARE NEEDED TO MAKE THESE CHOCOLATE KISS COOKIES?

Chocolate kisses, butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, salt, flour, and mini chocolate chips.

DO COOKIES HARDEN AS THEY COOL?

 Usually yes. Normally when you take them out of the oven, they are soft and will get harder as they cool. They continue baking on the cookie sheet after you take them out of the oven. That is why as soon as the cookies are cool enough to be transferred without breaking, use a spatula and place them on a cooling rack, silicone baking mat, or on a plate to cool. 

 

If easy cookie recipes are your favorite types of cookies to make, then I have two speedy recipes that you may just love! Our Patriotic cookies and our No-Bake Football cookies both use madeleine cookies which take a lot of prep time off the table! 

Chocolate Kiss Cookies

[/ingredients]

[directions title=”Directions”]

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugars, and vanilla. You can use a hand mixer, however, I’ve found using a stand up mixer works the best.
2. Slowly incorporate the flour into the mixture or you will be cleaning your kitchen afterwards; trust me, I know. 
3. Stir in the mini chocolate chips if you want an extra dose of chocolate flavor in your cookie.
4. Then using a tablespoon, add small amounts of dough around each chocolate kiss and place them on a cookie sheet.
5. Bake 10 minutes at 375. I normally bake the cookies only for about 7 minutes as I like the outer part soft.
6. One tip to keep in mind is that you may want to double the recipe. These cookies are THAT good.
