Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup colored sanding sugar
- 32 Hershey’s Kisses Sugar Cookie Candies, unwrapped
Instructions:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Add the flour, salt, and baking soda to the butter mixture and stir on medium-low until the dough starts to come together in clumps.
- Portion out 2-teaspoon sized rounds of dough. Roll the dough in your hands briefly to smooth out and toss each cookie dough piece in the sanding sugar. Space the cookies out 2 inches apart on the prepared pans and bake in the preheated oven for 9 minutes.
- Remove the cookies from the oven to cool for about 2 minutes. This will prevent the Kisses chocolate from melting (you can also put the Kisses in the freezer for a couple of minutes before putting on the cookie). Gently press an unwrapped Hershey’s Kisses candy into the center of each cookie. Cool completely before serving!
