Chocolate Truffle Cookies

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 sleeve chocolate graham crackers, finely ground
1/3 cup all purpose flour
28 chocolate kisses or chocolate truffles

In a large mixing bowl, using a mixer on medium speed, beat together butter and sugar until creamy - about 1 minute. Beat in egg, cocoa powder, chocolate, corn syrup, vanilla, baking soda and salt until well combined. Beat in graham cracker crumbs and flour until just combined. Chill dough in freezer for 30 minutes.

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat cookie sheets with cooking spray.

Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheets. Bake 12 minutes or until well risen, and set. Cool 2 minutes. Press a chocolate into the center of each cookie. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

Makes 28 cookies

    Your recipes are always so interesting and creative, they're fantastic! I'm always inspired to try everything you make. I have been wanting to get some chocolate graham crackers, I'll have to try these. Triple chocolate cookies? Yes please.

    You always put such interesting ingredients into your cookies. I wonder how cinnamon graham crackers would give a different flavor to these.

    Want chocolate cookies now...

    I'm not a coffee drinker, but that coffee drink does sound good - and highly caloric! Just as well I avoid coffee shops. For me the best way to drink coffee is with lots of fattening stuff in it!

    Interesting - that addition of chocolate graham cracker crumbs. I bet these would be good even without the kisses on top. OR you could use almond m&m's in Christmas colors maybe...or even plain m&m's.

    (Don't worry, I'll drink my morning coffee for you too...It's sooo good.)

    i love sniffing coffee too! I don't really like drinking it, but I could inhale the smell of coffee beans forever.

    These cookies look tasty. I've been wanting to try those new kisses...if they're anything like Aero chocolate bars from england, I bet they're pretty tasty.

    Whoops, published that comment too quickly.

    Rachel, I bet cinnamon grahams would be great, too.

    Sue, I agree. They'd be good with Rocher chocolates in them. Mmm.

    Anon, I found them at Walmart. They have them in grocery stores, too.

    Those kisses sound good! They remind me of the Milka Luflee chocolate bars you can get in Europe.
