Pumpkin Spice Blossoms
Description
Rich, brownie-like cookies are topped with pumpkin spice-flavored candy kisses in this dessert recipe fit for fall.
Ingredients
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
3/4 cup cocoa powder
•
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
•
1 teaspoon baking soda
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
2 1/2 sticks butter, softened
•
1 cup white sugar
•
3/4 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.
