Ingredients

– 1/2 cup of butter

– 1/2 cup brown sugar

– 1/2 cup granulated sugar (and more for rolling)

– 2 tsp vanilla extract

– 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk

– 1 3/4 cups flour

– 1/4 cup cocoa powder

– around 35 Hershey kisses (1 per cookie)

– 1/2 tsp salt

– 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

Frosting (you may have some left over):

– 1/2 cup butter

– 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar

– 1 tbsp milk

– 1/2 tsp vanilla

– green and orange food dye

Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
    2.  In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
    3. Beat in vanilla, egg, and extra yolk until smooth.
    4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients until just combined
    5. Shape dough: Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough, roll into a ball, then roll in granulated sugar. Place on baking sheet about 2 inches apart
    6. Bake: Bake 9–11 minutes, or until edges are set but centers are soft
    7. Add the kiss: Immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie. Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely (the kisses will firm up again as they cool).
    8. Make frosting: Beat butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla; beat until fluffy. Divide into bowls and tint with green and orange food dye.
    9. Decorate: Once cookies are cool, pipe a ring of colored frosting around the base of each Hershey’s Kiss to look like a witch hat band.
