  9. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Add a pinch of espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor.
  • Roll in colored sugar for a festive twist.
  • Substitute kisses with mini peanut butter cups or caramel-filled chocolates.
  • Use Dutch-processed cocoa for a darker, smoother flavor.
  • Dough can be made ahead and chilled overnight.
