Chocolate Trifecta Cookies

You will need:

1/2 cup (or 1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Tablespoon milk
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup Hershey's cocoa
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 bag Hersheys kisses, with or without almonds, unwrapped.


Heat oven to 350 degrees farenheit.

In a mixing bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, vanilla and brown sugar until blended.

Add eggs and milk; beat well.

Stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; gradually add in to butter mixture, blending well.  (I added it a cup at a time, stirring all the while, and this worked well.)

Stir in chocolate chips.

Shape dough into 1 inch balls and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 10 to 11 minutes.

Cool on cookie sheet for about a minute, then remove from cookie sheet and place on wire rack.  Press kisses into the center of each cookie while they are still a little bit warm.

Makes about 48 cookies.
