Spiced Cappuccino Kiss Cookies

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar, divided
1 large egg, room temperature
1-1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
24 striped chocolate kisses

Directions

~Beat butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, espresso powder, and vanilla.

~In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Refrigerate, covered, until firm enough to shape, about one hour.

~Preheat oven to 350°.

~Mix cinnamon and remaining sugar. Shape dough into twenty-four one-inch balls; roll in cinnamon sugar. Place two inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.

~Bake until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Immediately top with chocolate kisses, pressing lightly. Cool slightly on pans before removing to wire racks to cool.
