Hopkins New York Cookies

Julia Hopkins

This recipe was inspired by the Levain Bakery in New York which is a favorite of ours. You can adjust the baking temperature and time to whatever works for your family. We like crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. 

Beat well: 
1 cup butter 
1 cup dark brown sugar 
1 cup white sugar 

Add and beat well: 
1 tsp. vanilla 
3 eggs 

Add & mix in by hand: 
1 tsp. salt 
1 tsp. cinnamon 
2 tsp. baking soda 
2 1/2 cups flour 
2 cups oatmeal 

Add: 
1 1/3 large package of Hershey’s mini kisses (or whatever kind you have) 

Form large sized cookies on a cookie sheet covered with baking paper and place in the freezer. 
Preheat the oven and bake at 425 degrees. Place the frozen cookie balls on the cookie sheet and bake for approximately 5 minutes or until the top is brown and the middle of the cookies are soft. Pull out of oven and let them cool a little on the hot cookie sheet before serving warm with a glass of milk.
