Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
• ¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar
• ¾ cup cocoa powder
• 2 ½ sticks butter, softened

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 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.
