1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup cocoa
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Hershey Kisses (any kind)
Heat oven to 375 degrees
Cream the first four ingredients together. Add the vanilla and eggs. Mix in the flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda until combined. Unwrap kisses and place in a bowl. Grab about a tablespoon of dough and place a kiss in the middle and cover with the cookie dough.
Bake for 6-8 minutes (I did 7 minutes and let them sit on the pan for a minute after I pulled them out of the oven.)
Let cool on cooling sheet.

Baked Chicken Taquitos
1/2 cup cream cheese
1/2 cup green salsa
a squeeze of a fresh lime (I made it without and it was still really good)
1/2 tsp of cumin (I put about 1 tsp. I like it a little spicy)
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp onion powder (I used onion salt and only used less)
1/4 tsp of garlic powder
3 TBS cilantro (I used a little more)
2 TBS green onion (I used a little more)
2 -3 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup grated pepper jack cheese (I used about 1 1/2 to 2 cups)
Mix all the above together. Get 16-18 corn tortillas and put about 2-3 tablespoons of mixture on them. Roll and flatten until sides crack open. Put on cookie sheet that has tinfoil on it sprayed with Pam. I sprayed the top of the Taquitos with a little sea salt.
Bake at 425 until crispy.
