My favorite holiday by far is Valentine’s Day. Even when I was single, I still loved the whole idea of a holiday that celebrates love. Maybe it is because I am a hopeless romantic – but I just think there ought to be more love in this world! I also love baking and crafting for Valentine’s Day, and one of my favorites is my Chocolate Kiss Valentine’s Day Cookies. And yes, they taste as good as they look … especially warm! The ooey gooeyness of the Hershey’s Kiss with the crunch of the sprinkles… total chocolate perfection.
Chocolate Kiss Valentine’s Day Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 c all purpose flour
- 1/3 c cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter , softened
- 2/3 c sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 c Valentine’s sprinkles
- Hershey Kisses , unwrapped
Instructions
-
In a bowl, combine flour, cocoa and salt and set aside. In your mixer beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy – about two minutes. Add egg yolk, milk, and vanilla and mix well. Slowly add in flour mixture until combined. Cover and refrigerate dough until firm – at least one hour. Roll chilled dough into one inch balls and then into sprinkles – covering entire outside of dough. Place balls on a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Gently use your thumb to press down the center of the ball to make a small indentation. Place back into refrigerator for about 15 minutes. Bake at 350* until set – about 12 minutes. After removing cookies from oven, immediately place a Hershey Kiss in the center of each cookie. Remove to a cooling rack to cool. Enjoy!
These cookies are super fun to make and they are so easy even your kids can get involved! You can give each cookie a different look simply by changing up the sprinkles!
They look utterly adorable. I’m just so thankful we live far enough apart that I can’t just pop round and eat them ALL!!! They’d be gone in no time!!!
Those look AMAZING! I wonder if I could make them with a vanilla cookie?
Pinning them!
They came out so pretty. Almost too pretty to eat, but chocolate is chocolate. Yum.
Wow – these ook great. I love how much the sprinkles pop off of the dark brown of the chocolate.
These are so cute! I need to pin them and make them for my 6 year old son who has a chocolate obsession.
