How to Make Double Chocolate Blossom Cookies
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 2: Cream the Butter & Sugars
Beat softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fluffy and creamy.
Step 3: Add Egg & Vanilla
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients
Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture.
Add milk if the dough feels too thick—just enough to form a soft dough.
Step 5: Chill the Dough
Refrigerate for 20 minutes. This prevents spreading while baking.
Step 6: Shape & Bake
Roll dough into small balls and place them on a lined baking tray.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9–10 minutes.
Step 7: Add the Chocolate Kiss
Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each warm cookie.
Let cool completely so the chocolate sets.
