Peppermint Kiss Cookies

I've been dreaming about these since I found the Hershey's Candy Cane Kisses at Shopper's. And since I had a vision, I kind of had to create my own recipe, as none of the others on the web seemed right. So, I used this base from the Hershey's website, and just replaced the chocolate kisses with Candy Cane.

They came out wonderfully, but if I were to make them again I might experiment with adding crushed candy cane to the dough, so if you do make them and are feeling adventurous, do that, and tell us how it goes!
Ingredients:
-1/2 cup softened butter
-3/4 cup white sugar
-3/4 cup brown sugar
-2 eggs
-1 tsp vanilla
-1 tbsp milk (i used almond milk)
-2 1/4 cup white flour
-1/3 cup cocoa powder
-1 tsp baking soda
-1/2 tsp salt
-1 cup chocolate chips
-1 back unwrapped Hershey's Candy Cane Kisses to top
Directions:
-Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
-Mix dough, roll into golf-ball sized balls, place on a baking sheet, and press down the center of each with your thumb, just a little bit.
-Bake for 10 minutes or so, and then immediately place kisses in the center of each cookie.
-If you want them to harden while keeping their shape, put they trays in the refrigerator to cool, but also eat one like 5 mins after they come out because the Kiss will be melty and AMAZING.
Caution: these are the best cookies you will ever make and you may eat like 3 of them. Plan to go for a run that day...
