Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup dried cranberries
- 20 pieces Hershey's Kisses (unwrapped)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until well 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.
Fold in the dried cranberries gently using a spatula.
Scoop 1-inch balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie while they are still warm.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy!
