Better Than A Cookie, Cookies

The only thing better than a chocolate chip cookie is a chocolate chip cookie with a Hershey kiss in the middle.These are probably my most famous cookies. I brought this recipe to school for cooking class and everyone went crazy for them. A few weeks later we made over 100 of them for a school fundraiser and they were gone pretty quickly.

Makes 48 cookies
Ingredients:
48 Hershey Kisses
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup Hershey chocolate chips -(Mini chocolate chips work best but regular ones are fine too)plus 1/2 cup for the drizzle on top

Directions:
1. Heat oven too 375 degrees. Remove wrappers from chocolate kisses.
2. Beat butter, both sugars, and vanilla in medium bowl until blended. Do not over beat. Add flour to the mixture, beat. Stir in the chocolate chips.
3.Mold a tablespoon of dough around each kiss, covering the kiss completely. Take off as much access dough as possible, leaving the Kiss completely covered. This babies are powerful, you don't need too much dough added to them.
4. Place on baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
5.Leave cookies on the baking sheet for a minute or two, then transfer to wire rack.
6. For the drizzle, melt the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips at 30 second increments, stirring after each. Place melted chocolate in a small Ziploc, cut off the little corner of the bag and drizzle the chocolate over each cookie.
7. Let cool for 30 minutes then ENJOY!
