Makes 25
3/4 cup butter, softened (1 1/2 sticks)
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
25 Hershey kisses
1 1/2 Tbsp. confectioner's sugar
3/4 tsp. cocoa
Preheat oven to 350. Combine the butter and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer set on medium speed until light and fluffly. Add the vanilla. Combine the flour and cinnamon in another medium bowl. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Mix well.
Shape the dough into twenty-five 1-inch balls. Flatten each ball into a 2-inch round 1 inch apart on 2 ungreased baking sheets. Place 1 Hershey Kiss in the center of each round. Enclose the candy with the dough, making sure the candy is completely sealed in the dough. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
Combine the confectioner's sugar and cocoa in a small bowl and lightly sprinkl over the hot cookies. Cool the cookies on baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
