Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Kiss Filled Cookie

Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Kiss Filled Cookie

Yes you read it right!!  Sounds complicated?  Well, it is not.  I would never ever call myself a master cookie chef, so anyone can make these and make them turn out perfectly.  I originally got the recipe here: http://www.inspiredbycharm.com/2013/09/1991.html and changed it slightly, mostly cutting the recipe in half just in case I didn't like them.  This recipe makes approximately 24 cookies.

Preheat oven to 350*

Ingredients:

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened.

6 tablespoons brown sugar

1/8 cup sugar

1/2 a package of instant chocolate pudding (if you measure it out, it equals approximately 3 tablespoons)

1 egg

1 teas vanilla

1/2 teas baking soda

1 1/8 cups flour

1/2 tablespoon cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 bag of pumpkin spice Hershey Kisses unwrapped (in this case, I used 24 kisses)

Instructions: 

In a medium sized bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda.

In a larger mixing bowl, mix butter and sugars together until smooth.  Add the pudding mix.  Add eggs and vanilla and mix until smooth.

Add the flour mixture in and mix.  It will be fairly thick.

Roll the dough into 1" balls. 

 Flatten each ball, put a kiss in the middle and form the dough around the kiss and re-roll in the palm of your hand until it is a ball again.  

Place on un-greased cookie sheet.

Bake for 9-11 minutes.  It took mine 11 minutes to bake.  

Cool for about 5 seconds before eating :-)  Enjoy!
