Blarney Stone-Kissed Cookies

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.
