Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 0.5 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings
  • 24 Strawberry Hershey's Kisses unwrapped
  • 0.5 cup pastel sprinkles nonpareils

Equipment

  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer

Method
 

  1. Unwrap Strawberry Kisses and place them in the freezer to chill.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  6. Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the pastel sprinkles until fully coated.
  7. Place on baking sheets 2 inches apart and bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are set.
  8. Remove from oven and immediately press a frozen Strawberry Kiss into the center of each hot cookie.
  9. Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before moving, so the Kisses can set.

Notes

Freezing the Kisses before baking ensures they hold their classic shape and don't melt into puddles when pressed into the hot cookies.
