Chocolate Blossom Cookies
Chocolate Blossom Cookies are a delightful treat that combines rich, fudgy chocolate with a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. With just 20 minutes of prep and 12 minutes of baking, they’re surprisingly simple to make, though a 4-hour chill ensures they hold their shape beautifully.
Ingredients
- 12 Tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup light or dark brown sugar tightly packed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup natural cocoa powder
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups powdered sugar for rolling
- 3 dozen milk chocolate kisses unwrapped
Instructions
- Combine the butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl, and use an electric mixer) and beat together until ingredients are well-creamed.
- Add eggs, one at a time, stirring until completely combined, and then stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to your wet ingredients until completely combined.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- After chilling, preheat oven to 350F (175C) and prepare baking sheet by lining with parchment paper.
- Roll dough into 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized balls and roll thoroughly in powdered sugar.
- Transfer to baking sheet and bake on 350F (175C) for 10-12 minutes — take care to not over-bake.
- Within 1-2 minutes of removing cookies from oven, gently press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.
- Allow cookies to finish cooling completely on baking sheet before enjoying.
