1 Cup Granulated Sugar
1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
2 Large Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 Cup All Purpose Flour
1 Tbsp Instant Coffee
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar (for coating)
16-20 Hershey’s Kisses
1) Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease a baking sheet. In a large bowl,
whisk together the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and the
eggs until combined.
2) In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder,
flour, Instant Coffee, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix
together the wet and try ingredients until the dough comes together into a thick
ball. Place the dough in the refrigerator to firm up for 30 minutes.
3) Roll the dough into ~16 balls, roughly the size of a golf ball. If the dough gets too
sticky, return it to the fridge to chill and firm up again.
4) Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl and roll the dough balls in the powdered sugar
until they are very well coated. Then place the dough balls on the prepared
baking sheet at least 2” apart.
5) Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes, until they
have spread out and puffed up.
6) Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute. Then, gently press one Hershey’s Kiss into the middle of each cookie. Let cool for 1 more minute on the
baking sheet and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
