Preheat oven to 375. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper, (silicone mats will make the cookies spread more.)

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt

In your mixer bowl, cream together the granulated sugar, brown sugar and margarine for 3-4 minutes

Add the eggs, vanilla and peppermint extract and beat until well combined

Add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, scraping down the sides as necessary

Place the additional 1/2 cup of sugar in a small bowl

Using a small 1 Tbsp cookie scoop, scoop the dough and drop it straight from the scoop in to the additional granulated sugar.  Roll them around with your fingers until well coated, then place them on a baking sheet about two inches apart

Bake at 375 for 8-9 minutes.  While the cookies are baking, unwrap all your kisses.

Remove from oven and immediately press an unwrapped Hershey Mint Truffle Kiss in to the middle of each cookie

Leave on the baking sheets about 10 minutes, then gently transfer them to a cooling rack until they are completely cooled.
