Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll them into smooth spheres using your hands. Place the cookie balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, and the tops are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press an unwrapped chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. The cookie edges may crack slightly, which is normal.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delightful Cookie Kisses!
