Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream
together softened butter, shortening, brown sugar and granulated
sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. In a separate
bowl, combine baking powder, baking soda, salt, flour and cocoa
powder. Add to the butter/sugar mixture and combine. Fold in
chocolate chips. Chill dough in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes
to avoid cookies from flattening.
After your dough has chilled, drop by rounded tablespoons onto
an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 minutes or until set up but
the centers are still soft. Let the cookies cool for 1-2 minutes.
Top each cookie with an unwrapped Candy Cane Kiss. Allow to
cool long enough for the Kisses to harden.
