Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Whisk
  • Electric Mixer
  • Cookie Scoop
  • Wire Cooling Rack

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter room temperature
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tbsp Milk
  • 1/3 cup Colored Sugar optional
  • 48 Hershey’s Kisses Sugar Cookie candies unwrapped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Beat the butter and medium speed for 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides. Add the sugar and continue beating for 5 to 7 minutes or until fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until evenly combined. Add the flour mixture and beat until mixed. 
  • Slowly add the milk to the dough as the mixer runs, adding just enough to soften the dough.
  • Using a small (1 tablespoon) cookie scoop, portion the cookie dough and shape into balls. Roll each ball in the colored sugar if desired. Place on the baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cookies are puffed and the edges are set.
  • Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes before pressing one kiss into the center of each cookie.
  • Transfer to a wire rack and allow the cookies to cool completely. The candies will look like they are melting but do not disturb them and they will resolidify in the correct shape.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week or refrigerate for up to 3 weeks. Cooled cookies can also be frozen but sudden temperature changes may cause the candy to “bloom” which is harmless but not pretty.
