Sugar Cookies with Hershey Kisses
Soft, chewy, and chocolatey, these sugar cookies with Hershey Kisses are delicious. These bites of bliss are sure to impress any crowd.
Ingredients
- ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 18 Hershey Kisses
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats.
- Add the softened butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the powdered sugar.
- Once all of the powdered sugar has been added, turn the mixer to medium speed and beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy — about 1 minute.
- Reduce the speed to low and add the egg and vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, if needed.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. With the mixer still on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture.
- Mix just until the cookie dough begins to clump together. You don’t want to overmix! Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix for another few seconds — just to incorporate any remaining flour and butter.
- Scoop out 18 portions (about 2 tablespoons) and roll them into smooth balls. Place them at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Press the cookies down slightly to form a disc that is about ¼ inch tall.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are just beginning to brown around the edges.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and press a Hershey Kiss into the top of each one.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the tray before storing in an airtight container at room temperature. Cookies will keep for up to 4 days.
