How to Make Hershey's Kiss Surprise Cookies

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar at low speed until light and fluffy.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, stirring well to combine.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Gradually add to the creamed mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of chopped walnuts. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to handle.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Roll 1 tablespoon of dough around each Hershey's Kiss, ensuring it's fully covered. Roll into a ball.
  7. Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  9. Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
