Ingredients

2 1/2 cups flour all purpose flour

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup sugar

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 cup butter, softened

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 eggs

48 Hershey’s Pumpkin Spice Kisses, unwrapped

Preparation

In medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa and baking soda.

In large bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar and butter; beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs; beat well. Add flour mixture; blend well. If necessary, cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 minutes for easier handling.

Heat oven to 375°F. For each cookie, with floured hands, shape about 1 tablespoon dough around 1 Hershey’s Pumpkin Spice Kiss, covering completely.

Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake at 375° for 7 to 10 minutes or until set and slightly cracked. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets. Cool on wire rack for 15 minutes or until completely cooled.
