Cookies and cream blossoms are a lot like peanut butter blossom cookies but with different flavors. They have a chewy chocolate cookie base and a cookies and cream Kiss on top. The combination of tastes and textures is fabulous.
These chocolate blossom cookies are perfect for cookie exchanges, gifting, or enjoying yourself. The fudgy chocolate cookie is the perfect compliment to a Hershey’s kiss.
They are a perfect base for these white chocolate Kisses with bits of cookie inside. They would also be great with caramel filled Kisses, hot cocoa Kisses, or Hugs.
No matter which kind of Kiss candies you use, they will look and taste amazing. So whip up a batch to see for yourself.
Why You Will Love This Recipe
These cookies are super simple to make. The dough comes together quickly, and you don’t have to chill it before you bake it.
The cookies can be just scooped and baked. That means you can go from ingredients to cookies in no time at all.
They stay soft and really delicious. We love nice soft cookies at our house, and these fit the bill.
Just watch them closely to make sure you don’t overbake them. The centers should look just set when you pull them out.
You can make these chocolate blossoms ahead and freeze them. Just make sure the Kisses are completely cooled and set again before you stack them.

Put them in an airtight container and keep them in the freezer for up to three months. Otherwise, store them at room temperature for up to a week.
Easy Ways to Make These Cookies Your Own
If you like the look of sugar rolled cookies, you can do that too. Roll them in powdered sugar for a crackle type finish or granulated sugar for a little added crunch.
You don’t have to mess with decorating these cookies. They look great as is, no sprinkles or icing required.
You can mix and match the candy centers. However, if you are using a Kiss that is filled with a gooey filling, you will want to freeze them first.
If you don’t want to mess with unwrapping the candies, you can use chocolate stars instead. Or use chocolate nonpareils for some sprinkle goodness.

Cookies & Cream Blossom Cookies
Equipment
Ingredients
- ¾ cup butter softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 30 cookies & cream Kisses or any variety
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Cream together ¾ cup butter, ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, stirring to combine.
- Stir in 1½ cups all purpose flour, ½ cup cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt until combined. The dough will be a little bit soft, but there is no need to chill.
- Use a small cookie scoop to portion out about 1 Tablespoon of dough onto the sheet pan. Leave 2 inches between cookies.
- Bake 7-9 minutes or until the tops look just set.
- Let cool for 2-3 minutes, then press a Kiss in the center of each cookie.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before removing them from the pan. Make sure Kisses are fully set again before stacking.
Notes
- These cookies are good with any variety of Hershey’s Kiss on top. If you are using a filled kiss, like the ones with caramel or marshmallow inside, freeze them before using them.
- Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Freeze for longer storage.
- If you would like to roll your cookie dough balls in sugar before you bake them, you can. Powdered sugar will make them look like chocolate crinkle cookies while granulated sugar will give them a little bit more crunch.
