Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder I used Hershey's Powder
- 24 Hershey Kisses This recipe makes between 20 - 24 cookies
- handful of sugar or more To sprinkle on top of cookies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a bowl, mix with spoon the butter, sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla
- Add flour a cup at a time and mix well
- For two large dough balls and set one ball aside
- Leave the other dough ball in the bowl and add cocoa powder. Combine well until the entire ball is chocolate
- Roll out the vanilla ball into approximately 18 to 20 inch log. Do the same with the chocolate ball
- Twist both logs into a braid and cut into 1 inch slices. Roll each slice into a ball and place on a greased cookie sheet. I used PAM cooking spray in butter flavor
- Pat down each ball a bit with a spoon or your fingers and bake for 13 minutes. The recipe said 12 minutes but my oven cooks a bit faster
- Remove from oven, sprinkle sugar on top, and place a Hershey Kiss in the middle.
- Transport to a decorative dish and serve
- Cookies can be stored in an air tight container for up to 3 to 4 days or frozen for later
