Like a lot of others, I grew up with Chocolate Crinkle Cookies at Christmas time. I think they were one of my most favorite holiday cookies my mom made. Now, here is my version to share with my kids. Kiss Crinkle Cookies.
Can you tell that I associate these cookies with Christmas and the holidays? Kiss Crinkle... Kris Kringle... LOL!

While my mom always used the chocolate squares and melted them on the stove to make her cookies, I prefer to use baking cocoa powder. I am much more likely to have it on hand so I can make these yummy cookies whenever the mood hits.

- Bake the cookies for 10 - 12 minutes. Do not over bake.

Tips for making these cookies
- Refrigerate the dough at least a couple of hours, or even overnight, before baking.
- It helps to also refrigerate dough in between batches if it gets too soft.
- Don't skimp on the powdered sugar when rolling the cookie dough balls.
- Let the cookies cool several minutes before adding the kisses or they will start to melt. But, if you let them cool too much they won't stick.
- These cookies are great to share with friends, neighbors, and family during the holiday season.
I used several different flavors of Hershey Kisses. Candy Cane, Cherry Cordial, Hot Cocoa, and Mint Truffle.

Hello. Can this recipe be halved? Thank you!
I have not tried to do that, but it would probably be fine.
