Chocolate Chunk-Kiss Cookies

September 10, 2014

Earlier this week we had a “run to the corner store and grab vanilla and
chocolate chips for cookies- oh no they don’t have chocolate chips!” experience.
That made us end up going with chopped up chunks of
hershey kisses and discovering the most amazing cookies EVER.

If you grew up eating peanut blossoms like I did… it’s like combining that cookie…
and your loved traditional chocolate chip cookie recipe. Amazingness.
Thank you store for not having chocolate chips… because of you, we found our new favorite recipe ;) The girls love unwrapping hershey kisses…
and I love a baking task that keeps them busy without flour flying!
CHOCOLATE CHUNK KISS COOKIES2

This recipe is the Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe but with Hershey kisses instead of the morsels. Easy! Most of you probably know this recipe by heart ;)

CHOCOLATE CHUNK-KISS COOKIES
INGREDIENTS:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup granulated brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
half a small bag of hershey kisses (or more. go crazy.)

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Unwrap and chop up hershey kisses. (a mix of big and small chunks!)
Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl.
Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract
in large mixer bowl until creamy.
Add eggs, beating well after each addition.
Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in Hershey kisses chunks.
Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for 6 minutes (they will look not cooked..but as long as you press
on them and they are a little firm and puff down by touch, you are good!
Let em set up on the cookie sheet and you’ll get those soft chewy cookies.)

I’m trying to think of another “reason” to make these again ;)
ENJOY!

    Just made these for my son’s Preschool teacher and they are amazing. He’s having a hard time with the transition and being away from me, so I thought having some cookies to bring might add a little excitement for him! I’ve already eaten a spoonful of the dough and 2 cookies. This is bad. Real bad. Ha! :)
