Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
For Rolling

  • 36 pieces chocolate kisses, unwrapped

Method
 

Baking Preparation
  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Shape Cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll them in granulated sugar and place them on ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking and Finishing
  1. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
  2. Add Chocolate Kisses: Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie and return to the oven for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  3. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, do not overbake the cookies and ensure your ingredients are at room temperature. Customize sizes by adjusting the dough balls.
