Be careful not to burn yourself when handling hot cookie sheets.

1

Gather the ingredients

To create these enchanting cookies, you'll need the following: 1 cup of butter (softened), 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 egg, 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1 package of Hershey's Kisses (unwrapped), and 1 tube of orange decorating icing.

2

Preheat the oven

Before you can work your magic, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure a perfectly baked batch of Witch's Hat Cookies.

3

Mix the dough

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until well combined.

4

Shape the cookies

Take about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the ball onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Gently press down on the ball to create a flat surface. Repeat this process for the remaining dough, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.

5

Bake and cool

Pop the cookie sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This ensures they hold their shape perfectly.

6

Decorate with hats

Once the cookies have cooled, it's time to add the finishing touch - the witch's hats! Take a Hershey's Kiss, turn it upside down, and gently press it into the center of each cookie. The flat base of the Kiss will act as the brim of the hat. Now, use the orange decorating icing to pipe a small band around the base of the Kiss, creating the hatband.
