Step by step

Method

4 steps

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment. Beat butter and 3/4 cup sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg, milk, vanilla, and food coloring until evenly red.

  2. 2

    Whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Mix into the wet ingredients just until a soft dough forms.

  3. 3

    Scoop 1-tablespoon balls, roll in sugar, and place 2 inches apart. Bake 8–10 minutes until edges are set and tops look crackly but still soft.

  4. 4

    Right out of the oven, press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. Cool on the sheet 5 minutes so the kiss sets, then move to a rack.
