Description

Delightfully magical cookies with a hidden Hogwarts house color inside. Each cookie features a chocolatey surprise at its center with a colored frosting to sort guests into their Hogwarts house.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 30 HERSHEY’S KISSES Brand Milk Chocolates
  • 6 Tbsps butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup REESE’S Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 2 tsps water
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsps egg, beaten
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup HERSHEY’S SPECIAL DARK Cocoa
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 cup white frosting (Ready-to-spread or Homemade)
  • Food color (red, yellow, blue, and green)
  • Sugar (Extra to roll dough balls in)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, peanut butter, water, and vanilla extract.
  • Add the beaten egg and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda.
  • Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully incorporated.
  • Shape the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in granulated sugar.
  • Place the dough balls on an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them evenly.
  • Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers are soft.
  • Immediately press a HERSHEY’S KISS into the center of each cookie as soon as it’s removed from the oven.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely before filling with frosting.
  • Separate white frosting into four bowls, tinting each with a different house color (red, yellow, blue, green).
  • Gently pipe a small amount of colored frosting into the bottom of each cookie to reveal the Hogwarts house when bitten into.

Notes

  • For a sturdier dough, chill for 30 minutes before rolling into balls.
  • Ensure the frosting is well hidden inside to maintain the surprise element.
