Blossom Cookies are rich, chocolatey cookies that are perfect for topping with any variety of Hershey's Kisses. These Chocolate Blossom Cookies are very much like a Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookie with a soft cookie base, topped with a delicious Kiss. The Chocolate Cookie base for this Chocolate Blossom Cookie Recipe has just a touch of peppermint for the perfect chocolate mint flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer, cream together the butter, sugar, brown sugar, egg, vanilla and peppermint extra. Mix until well combined.
Sift the flour, salt, baking soda and cocoa into the mixing bowl with the cream butter and sugars.
Mix until a firm dough is form and everything is combined.
Scoop the dough out into balls and place on a baking sheet about one inch apart.
Bake for 7-10 minutes, until crisp on the edges, but still soft in the center.
Remove the cookies from the oven and take from the pan and place on a cooling rack. After 3-5 minutes, place an unwrapped peppermint Kiss in the center of the cookie.
