Super-Duper Chocolate Kisses Cookies

Call upon chocolate-loving kids to shape the cookie dough for these cocoa-flavored treats. For a more festive presentation, use red and green sprinkles instead of chocolate-flavor ones called for in the recipe.

ingredients

1 16 1/2 - ounce package refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2/3 cup chocolate-flavor sprinkles

2 tablespoons milk

About 40 dark chocolate kisses, unwrapped
directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet; set aside. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine cookie dough and cocoa powder. Seal bag; knead with your hands until dough is well mixed. Remove dough from the bag.
Place chocolate sprinkles in a shallow dish or small bowl. Place milk in another shallow dish or small bowl. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Dip balls in milk to moisten, then roll in chocolate sprinkles to coat. Place balls 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven about 8 minutes or until edges are firm. Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; let cool. Makes about 40 cookies.
