These classic sugar cookies get a twist with a special surprise in the middle… Hershey Sugar Cookie Kisses.
1 cup Unsalted Butter (2 sticks), softened
1 1/4 cups Granulated Sugar
1 Egg
2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
Christmas colored sprinkles
24 Hershey Sugar Cookie Kisses
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or coat with baking spray).
Remove all of the wrappers from kisses, and set aside.
In a large bowl with a standing mixer or hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
Add in the egg and vanilla extract; beat until combined.
Add in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl every now and again.
Shape the cookie dough into 1 inch balls.
Roll the balls in the Christmas sprinkles, and place them on a cookie sheet. Do not press them down.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until edges of the cookies are lightly browned. You want the cookies to look not baked through. This will keep them soft and chewy.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool for 3-4 minutes. After this time press a candy kiss into the middle of each cookie.
Let cool completely on a wire rack.
