"Rich and chocolaty cookies that are formed into logs and chilled before being sliced and baked. Once baked they are glazed with green icing and topped with a Hershey's Kiss Chocolate." — HersheysKitchens.com

Directions

Beat butter, sugar, egg and vanilla in large bowl until well blended. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Divide dough in half; place each half on separate sheet of wax paper.
Shape each half into log with squared sides, about 7 inches long and 2-1/4 inches wide. Wrap each log in wax paper or plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 8 hours.
Heat oven to 325 F. Cut logs into 3/8-inch thick slices. Place onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 15 minutes or until set. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. Remove wrappers from chocolate pieces.
Stir together 3/4 cup powdered sugar, milk, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and 3 or 4 drops green food color, if desired, in small bowl until of drizzling consistency. Drizzle over top of cookies. Immediately place a chocolate piece on each cookie. About 3 dozen cookies.

I made these for a St. Patrick's Day dinner this year. Easy and quite good! The chocolate is more bitter, but wonderful with the Kiss chocolate on top! I used a cut corner of a plastic baggie to put on the frosting. Great looking and great tasting! We enjoyed them!

Well, they look great on a St Patrick's Day cookie platter, but, the taste is really marginal. I never thought I would ever say this about anything chocolate.. but, they are just too chocolate- almost bitter. Sorry, not a keeper in my recipe box.

Other reviews said these cookies were bitter...I did NOT think so. They were delicious. I used mint chocolate kisses and used mint extract in the frosting instead of vanilla. It was a very nice mint-chocolate flavor. Yummy and moist!

These cookies were fantastic - my husband and I could not stop eating them! I decided to skip the hershey kisses and, instead, covered the cookies lightly with a green mint glaze - YUM!

These cookies were relatively easy to make. I made the dough a day ahead, and then baked them off the next day. I found that if you push the Kisses into the cookie, rather than just placing it on top, the cookie tends to split in half when picked up. The taste is not bad, but not outstanding either. I changed the name to "Kiss My Blarney Stone" cookies.I would keep these as a stand by, but I don't think they will be a St. Patrick's Day staple.

This is basically a chocolate refrigerator cookie all dressed up for St. Patrick's Day. The cookies look adorable, but I think the chocolate kiss overwhelms them a bit, and would leave it off next time. The cookie itself is delicious - could probably be adapted for Halloween with an orange glaze.

I thought this cookie tasted like an imitation of what a real chocolate cookie should taste like. It was a very bland cookie, and the only "sweetness" that the cookie had was the hershey kiss:(

I left the cocoa out of these because I was out of it, but I added a few chocolate chips to add chocolate flavor. My husband liked them better than my regular chocolate chip cookies!
