Double Chocolate Kisses Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place egg whites in the clean bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on high speed, using the whisk attachment, until egg whites are stiff. Then add the sugar slowly and continue beating until egg whites are very thick, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Beat in cocoa until combined. Stir in almonds and mix until completely blended. The batter should be quite thick and sticky.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment. Dampen hands and shape about 1 heaping teaspoonful of dough into a 1-inch ball. Pinch the ball with your fingers to form a teardrop shape and place on prepared baking sheet. Continue process, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart, until all the dough is used.
• Bake until cookies are slightly cracked, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool on sheet for several minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• Combine shortening and melted chocolate. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of chocolate onto the flat side of a cooled cookie and place another cookie on top. Press together gently so chocolate oozes out slightly. Return cookie to rack and let chocolate harden. Repeat process with remaining cookies.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Add sugar, brown sugar, and baking soda; beat until well mixed. Mix in eggs, melted chocolate, and vanilla extract. Gradually beat in flour and cocoa powder until well combined.
• Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges begin to firm up, about 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and add 1 white chocolate kiss to the center of each cookie, pressing down just slightly. Return to the oven and bake for approximately 1 minute. Cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
