Ingredients:

3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus more for rolling
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Hershey's Candy Cane Kisses

Instructions:

Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool.
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in egg yolk, vanilla, and chocolate. Mix in the flour mixture until just combined. Refrigerate dough for at least one hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Scoop out about a tablespoon of dough and form into a ball. Roll the dough in granulated sugar to fully coat. Place the dough balls 1-inch apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cookies just start to crack.
Remove from the oven. Move the cookies to a wire cooling rack and immediately place (and press down) a Hershey's Kiss at the center of each cookie.
