I. As we all know, grandmas are known for making delicious food. I discovered a long time ago that I have a big problem breaking eggs; so I was very excited when I discovered the eggless recipe for Cocoa Kiss Cookies. I was given the recipe for these cookies by my mom, Renae Williams. My mom got the recipe from her mother; Lucy Long, who got the recipe from the chocolate factory in Hershey, PA.
II. If you ever are in a situation where you need to impress your grandma then, cook her a chocolate cookie with a kiss in the center.
III. Cookies are easier to make than you think so I’m going to show you the three steps in making cocoa kiss cookies: the ingredients, the mixing process, and baking.
IV. First: Ingredients needed A. The wet mixture 1. You will need 1 cup melted butter. 2. ⅔ cup sugar combined with melted butter. 3. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to form wet mixture. B. The dry mixture
1. You will need 1 and ⅔ cups all purpose flour.
2. To finalize dry mixture you need 1/4 cup cocoa. C. Re-list the ingredients: 1. 1 cup melted butter 2. ⅔ cup sugar 3. 1 tsp. vanilla extract 4. 1 ⅔ cup all-purpose flour 5. ¼ cup cocoa 6. Hershey Kisses to put in center later
V. Secondly: Mixing ingredients A. The wet mixture
1. First the contents of the wet mixture (the butter, sugar and vanilla) are mixed within a larger bowl until all the ingredients are well blended.
2. A good tip from my grandma, Lucy, is to never pour the vanilla over the mixing bowl in case the vanilla spills. This way if a spill occurs, the dough is not ruined. B. The dry mixture
1. The ingredients of the dry mixture (flour and cocoa) are mixed together in a smaller bowl until evenly distributed. Mixing the flour and cocoa evenly will only take a few stirs with a spoon.
2. After mixing the dry ingredients together, pour them into the wet mixture and start stirring.
