Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (1 stick) Butter unsalted- softened
- 1 cup White granulated sugar
- 1 Egg yolk
- 3 ½ Tbsp Milk
- 1 ½ tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 cup + 1 Tbsp All-purpose flour
- ½ cup Cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt
- Valentine colored sprinkles
- Hershey Hug candies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.
- Add the egg yolk, milk and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, and beat to combine.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder and salt, mix to combine, and add it slowly to the wet ingredients. Beat on high until a thick dough is formed.
- The dough will be very thick, but this is the way it is supposed to be. Take a tablespoon of dough, and make it into a ball. Flatten the ball of dough, and press it down into Valentine sprinkles of your choosing. Place it on a greased or lined baking sheet. Repeat until all of the dough has been used.
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes.
- Remove them from the oven, take them off of the hot baking sheet, and let rest for a few minutes. Coat with sprinkles. Then press an unwrapped Hershey Hugs candy into the center of each cookie. Place the cookies into the fridge for a few minutes to keep the Hershey Hug from melting in the warm cookie.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
