Chocolate Peppermint Blossoms

0 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
1 In a large bowl, cream the butter  and sugars together for about 2-3 minutes.
2 Add the egg and vanilla. Beat for another minute or 2.
3 Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, mixing until combined. The dough will be soft, but you do not need to chill it.
4 Use a small cookie scoop to scoop the dough into balls. Roll them in the palms of your hands to make round spheres. Then roll them in a shallow bowl of sugar. 
5 Place the balls of dough on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 7-9 minutes. Mine were cooked at 9 minutes exactly. 
6 Let them cool for about 4 minutes before pressing the peppermint kiss into the cookie.
