Ingredients

  • 48 unwrapped Hershey's HUG Kisses, milk chocolate hugged by white crème or plain milk chocolate Hershey's Kisses
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup shortening or lard
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour plus 2 Tbsps all-purpose flour (added to half the cookie dough later in the recipe)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsps Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa (added to half the cookie dough later in the recipe)

Instructions

  • Unwrap 48 Hershey's HUGS Kisses; set aside. Heat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. In a medium size bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • In a stand mixture or a large bowl with a handheld mixer, beat the butter, shortening, and sugar until well blended. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula. Gradually beat the flour mixture into the butter-egg mixture until well blended.
  • Remove the dough from the mixer, place onto a plate, and divide it in half. Return one half back to the mixer. Add 2 Tbsps all-purpose flour; mix until blended then return the dough to the plate.
  • Return the other half of the dough to the mixer. Add 2 Tbsps Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa; mix until well blended and completely chocolate.
  • Take a 1/2-inch pinch of the sugar cookie dough and a 1/2-inch pinch of chocolate cookie dough press together, then gently roll between hands to create a 1-inch cookie dough ball. Repeat to form 48 cookie dough balls. Place 24 cookie dough balls to each of the baking sheets.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes until the cookies are set. Remove from oven and let cookies sit for 1 minute. Slightly press an unwrapped HUGS Kiss on top in the middle of each cookie. Remove the cookies from the baking sheet to a wire rack; cool completely. Recipe adapted from https://celebratewithhersheys.com/
