Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ cup colored sugar (for rolling)
  • 32 Hershey’s kisses (unwrapped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking liners and set aside.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until fully combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Beat until just combined. Stream in the milk, adding just enough to soften the dough.
  5. Shape the Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion the dough, then roll each portion into a ball using your hands. Roll each ball in the colored sugar until fully coated. Place the balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Bake: Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed and the edges are set but not browned.
  7. Add Hershey’s Kisses: Allow the cookies to cool for 2 minutes, then gently press a Hershey’s kiss into the center of each cookie. Let them cool for an additional 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Avoid Overbaking: These cookies should puff slightly and mattify in the oven but not brown. Overbaking will make them dry.
  • Prep Hershey’s Kisses Ahead: Unwrap the Hershey’s kisses before starting to save time.
  • Don’t Panic About Melting: The Hershey’s kisses will look like they’re melting when pressed into the warm cookies, but they’ll quickly cool and solidify into the proper shape.
  • Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, in the fridge for up to 3 weeks, or freeze them. Note that freezing may cause the chocolate to “bloom” (develop a white coating), which is harmless but less visually appealing.
