Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 60 servings

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • ¾ cup cocoa powder

  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 2 ½ sticks butter, softened

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 (10 ounce) bag pumpkin spice-flavored candies (such as Hershey's® Pumpkin Spice Kisses)

Directions

  1. Stir flour, cocoa, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.

  2. Combine butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat well. Mix in flour mixture gradually.

  3. Chill cookie dough for 1 hour. Meanwhile, unwrap the candy kisses.

  4. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

  5. Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Flatten just enough to keep from rolling off the cookie sheets.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set and starting to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Slide parchment paper onto wire cooling racks. Firmly push a candy kiss into the center of each cookie. Let cool completely.

Cook's Note:

You might want to pick up 2 bags of chocolate kisses. Depending on who helps unwrap the kisses, you could end up a little short!
