- 317g Sugar
- 340g Flour
- 5g Baking Soda
- 7g Cornstarch
- 4g Salt
- 47g Cocoa Powder
- 16g Jet Black Cocoa
- 109g Eggs
- 10g Vanilla Extract
- 10g Vegetable Oil

- 100g Mini Hershey's Kisses
- 60g Pistachios
- 60g Melting Chocolate
- 110g Shredded Phyllo Dough
Step-by-Step Directions
1. Cream the Butter & Sugar
Using a stand mixer (or electric beaters), blend the butter and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the Wet Ingredients
Mix in the eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil on low speed until fully combined.
3. Incorporate the Dry Ingredients
Add the cocoa powders, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Slowly mix in the flour while scraping down the sides of the bowl to ensure an even dough.
4. Fold in the Chocolate & Nuts
Gently mix in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, Hershey’s Kisses, and pistachios for extra flavor and texture.
5. Stuff the Cookies
Scoop out a portion of dough, shape it into a small cup, and place your choice of stuffing in the center. You can use pistachio buttercream, extra pistachios, or shredded phyllo dough for added crunch. Seal the dough around the filling and roll it into a ball.
6. Chill for Maximum Flavor
Refrigerate the stuffed cookie dough balls for 1-2 hours. This helps enhance the flavors and prevents excessive spreading when baked.
7. Bake to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake the cookies on a lined cookie sheet for 18-24 minutes, or until they have a firm but slightly gooey texture.
8. Cool & Enjoy
Let the cookies rest on a cooling rack for 10 minutes before digging in.
