Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 24 pieces Hershey's Kisses
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and powdered sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
Add in the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. Stir in the mini chocolate chips by hand to evenly distribute.
Unwrap all the Hershey's Kisses and set them aside.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough, flatten it slightly in your hand, and place a Hershey's Kiss in the center. Wrap the dough around the Kiss, completely covering it, and roll into a ball.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set but not browned. The bottoms should be lightly golden.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, roll them in powdered sugar to coat generously.
Serve and enjoy, or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
