Chocolate Hug Cookies Recipe 415

CHOCOLATE HUG COOKIES RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Gently stir with a whisk to evenly distribute. Set aside. Fit a stand mixer with a paddle attachment and cream the butter, both sugars, and vanilla until light and creamy. Add the eggs and mix until completely incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until the ingredients are just combined. Use a tablespoon to place the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets. Do not flatten the cookie dough balls. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes. Do not over-bake. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Then, gently press a Kiss into the middle of each cookie. Cool for 15 to 20 more minutes then serve warm. Or, let the cookies cool completely before serving or storing.

• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool for a couple of minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

CHOCOLATE ZEBRA HUG COOKIES

Steps:

• Over low heat melt unsweetened chocoate and set aside to cool.
• Combine eggs, sugar, melted chocolate, vanilla, and oil.
• Gradually add flour and baking powder (Dough will be a stiff brownie-like mixture).
• Chill for two hours.
• Shape dough into small balls (I use a rounded greased measuring spoon or small cookie scoop) and roll into powdered sugar.
• Place on a ungreased cookie sheet ( although I grease all my cookie pans).
• Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are set and tops are cracked.
• Place an unwrapped Hershey's Hug in the center (don't push all the way to bottom).
