Ingredients & Directions
1 c Butter or margarine softened
1 c Sugar
1 Egg
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 3/4 c All-purpose flour
1/2 c Hershey’s Cocoa
1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1 bag Hershey’s Kisses (Milk Chocolates about 36)
Quick Cookie Glaze
3/4 c Powdered sugar
4 tsp Milk
1/4 tsp Vanilla extract
4 Drops green food color
Directions: In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar, egg and vanilla until well blended. Next combine together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, beating until well blended.
Divide dough in half; place each half on a separate sheet of wax paper. With hands, shape each half into a log with squared sides, about 7 inches long and 2-1/4 inches wide. Wrap each log in wax paper or plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 8 hours.
Heat oven to 325 F. Cut logs into 3/8-inch thick slices. Place onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until set. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack until cooled completely.
Quick Cookie Glaze: In a small bowl, stir together 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 3 to 4 teaspoons milk, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and 3 or 4 drops green food color, mix until drizzling consistency.
Drizzle over top of cookies. Then place an unwrapped chocolate piece on each cookie. About 3 dozen cookies.
