Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup red or pink sugar sprinkles
- 24 pieces chocolate kisses (unwrapped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until 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. Be careful not to overmix.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough, rolling each into a ball.
Roll each dough ball in red or pink sugar sprinkles until they are fully coated.
Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set and slightly golden on the edges.
Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie while they are still warm.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
