Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 24 pieces milk chocolate kisses (like Hershey's Kisses), unwrapped
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a small disc using your hands.
Place one unwrapped chocolate kiss in the center of each dough disc. Carefully fold the dough around the chocolate, ensuring it is completely sealed and forms a small ball.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cookies are firm but not browned.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, lightly dust the cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
