Looking for a festive and delicious holiday treat? Look no further than Candy Cane Kissed Chocolate Cookies! These cookies are the perfect combination of rich chocolate and refreshing peppermint, making them a crowd-pleaser at any holiday gathering.

To make these cookies, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup crushed candy canes
- 24 Hershey's Candy Cane Kisses

To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the crushed candy canes.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. Remove from the oven and immediately press a Hershey's Candy Cane Kiss into the center of each cookie.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, these Candy Cane Kissed Chocolate Cookies are ready to be enjoyed!
