Trio Cookies

This recipe was on the back of some Trio Hershey kisses that I bought for Valentine's Day and they are SOOOO worth cheating for. Eat them when they are warm and they are as good as Ben's Cookies!

Trio Cookies

1/2 C. butter, softened
1/2 C. Shortening (I used another stick of butter and it worked too)
1 C. Sugar
1 Egg
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 C. plus 2 Tbs. flour divided
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. Salt
2 Tbs. cocoa (the recipe calls for Hershey's special dark cocoa)
48 Hershey kisses (the cookies look cuter with the swirly kisses)

Instructions:
1. heat oven to 350
2. Beat butter, shortening and sugar until well blended. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir together 2 cups flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually beat into butter mixture.
3. Divide dough mixture into halves. Add remaining 2 tablespoons flour to one half and coca to the other half, blending well. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. (Roll together a pinch of vanilla dough and a pinch of chocolate dough for marbled cookies.) Place balls on ungreased cookie sheets.
4. Bake 9-11 minutes or until cookie is set. Remove from oven to wire rack. Cool 1 minute. Press chocolate kiss into center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack to cool.
Makes 4 dozen cookies.
