Ingredients

  • 46 chocolate Hershey kisses
  • ½ cup salted butter room temperature (1 stick)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Optional

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar to roll balls in before cooking

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Unwrap all 46 chocolate kisses and place them on a plate. Put them in the refrigerator until you're ready to use.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix with a hand mixer butter, sugar, egg, milk, and vanilla extract together. Mix until they are all combined.
  • In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until all combined.
  • Add half of the flour mixture mix and when there is no more loose flour, add the remaining half of flour to the mixture.
  • Using a small cookie scoop (or spoon) scoop the dough into a ball then roll each ball into the granulated sugar, if using. Place each completed cookie dough ball on the baking sheet.
  • Cook each batch of cookies for 9 to 10 minutes, until the edges are nice and golden. Remove them from the oven.
  • Remove the Hershey kisses from the fridge and place 1 kiss in the middle of each cookie and gently press down.
  • Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and enjoy immediately or store once completely cooled.
