Ingredients

  • 14 tablespoons (198g) butter
  • 1 ¾ cups (219g) all purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (88g) cocoa powder, (use regular, not the extra dark cocoa)
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¾ cups (350g) brown sugar, 350g (packed)
  • 1 large egg, plus one egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon red liquid food coloring
  • 1 cup (175g) mini semi sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup red sanding sugar*
  • 1 12-ounce (340g) bag Hersheys Hugs**, for topping (you can use either the milk chocolate stripped Hugs or the red an white peppermint striped ones which are available around the Christmas holidays)

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, melt 10 tablespoons of the butter in the microwave. Cut the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in to 6-8 pieces, add to the melted butter and stir (this helps to cool down the melted butter so it wont be too hot later when the eggs are added). Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and baking powder.
  • Add the brown sugar, vanilla, red food coloring and salt to the melted butter. Stir well to combine. Add the egg and egg yolk and stir until smooth.
  • Add flour mixture and stir with a wooden (or sturdy) spoon just until combined and flour is incorporated. Add chocolate chips and mix just until incorporated.
  • Put red sanding sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll the dough into balls, about 1½ tablespoons for each cookie. Roll the balls in the sanding sugar until well coated and place on prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, until they have puffed and have cracks running through the top, about 12-14 minutes. Be careful not to over bake the cookies or they will be dry. As soon as the cookies emerge from the oven place a Hersheys hug in the center of each cookie. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
