Chocolate Kiss Cookies

This week's is Chocolate Kiss Cookies.
I saw this recipe online and I wanted to try it since I see these cookies everywhere and I was just curious how to make them. So, this was my first attempt and it turned out great! (thanks to the recipe).

The original recipe asked for kisses, but I think it will go well with Reseese's Peanut Butter cups, too. I used Cherry Kisses and Kisses Meltaways for these cookies. (can't tell the difference since the outside is brown.)

Here's the recipe!

Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
* 1 1/4 cups butter (softened)
* 2 cups white sugar
* 2 egg (room temperature)
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
* 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon salt

* 54 milk chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped
* 1/3 cup granulated sugar for decoration

1. Mix all wet ingredients. It's better if you mix butter and sugar first until fluffy. Then add eggs (leave the eggs out for about 30 minutes to an hour before using). After butter, sugar and eggs are mixed, add in vanilla extract.

2. On a separate bowl, mix in all the dry ingredients.

3. 1/2 cup at a time, add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Continue until all the dry ingredients are gone. I used the hand mixture speed 1 and slowly mixed them.

4. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour (longer the better - half a day or one day)

5. Take out the dough and make 1-inch diameter ball. Roll on sugar. Bake for 8-10 minutes (8 minutes = chewey cookie, 10 minutes = more crunchy).

6. Take out the cookies when it's done, cool for a minute then put unwrapped kisses whiles it's still warm (but not immediately after you take out).

7. Cool & Enjoy! It yields about 4 dozen cookies.
