Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In another medium bowl, place the chocolate hazelnut spread, butter, and both sugars. Using a hand mixer, cream the ingredients together, about 3 minutes. Add the
egg and vanilla and blend until incorporated. Stir in the dry ingredients, just until incorporated.

Shape the cookie dough into walnut-sized balls. Rolls the balls in the orange sprinkles or orange sugar, pressing to adhere. Place the cookies on a heavy cookie sheet about 4 inches apart. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven. Quickly place a chocolate kiss in the middle of each cookie. Return the cookies to the oven and bake for another 3 minutes. Cool the cookies on a wire rack.

    I have made these cookies several times for family gatherings. I do not add the chocolate kiss on top. To keep the cost reasonable ( Nutella and Hershey Kisses bring the cost of this cookie up! I have drizzled melted chocolate on them after they have baked and cooled. I have also rolled them in chocolate sprinkles prior to baking them. Both variations were a big hit. You really don't need the "kiss" on top.
    Besides, that reminded me of the peanut butter blossoms and this cookie is in a league above the blossoms. They also hold their freshness for a long time in an air tight container. Delicious!
