Chocolate Blossom Cookies
This super simple crinkle chocolate blossom cookies are so simple to prep and start with a box of brownie mix! 10 minutes to prep, one-bowl, and all the fudgy brownie flavor! That's right, these are a brownie in cookie form, covered with powdered sugar and made even better with a chocolate kiss pressed into the center. The perfect holiday cookie that can also be easily made all year long!
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (18-20oz.) I used Ghiradelli dark chocolate mix
- ½ cup flour 60 grams
- 1 oz. cream cheese softened
- 1 ½ tsp espresso powder
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 24 Hershey kisses any flavor!
Instructions
- Add brownie mix, flour, melted butter, espresso powder, eggs and cream cheese to a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until fully incorporated and smooth. Chill for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Once chilled and easy to work with, roll into about 1 to 1 1/2 inch balls. Roll into powdered sugar and generously coat. Place on parchment lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in oven preheated to 350°F for about 7-9 minutes. You don’t want to over bake, they may look like they are still a touch wet in the very center and that is ok. They will be puffed up a bit and set around the edges when done.
- Remove from oven and use a biscuit or cookie cutter to shuffle into nice even circles if desired. This can be a bit tricky as some of the powdered sugar will scatter but it still should look ok for the crinkles.
- Gently press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. Allow the cookies to cool for about 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Storage: Store these chocolate blossoms at room temperature in an airtight container for about 3-4 days. These cookies can be frozen for about 3 months in a sealed freezer-safe container--allow the cookies to cool and the kiss to solidify before freezing with parchment between layers.
Definitely chill this brownie cookie dough for best results at least for 30 minutes if possible. This will make it so much easier to work with!
Don't over bake these cookies. They will dry out easily so it's better to slightly underbake versus over baking. They will have a nice fudgy center that is irresistable!
