Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 stand mixer with paddle attachment for creaming butter and sugar
  • 1 baking sheet lined with silicone mat or parchment paper
  • 1 cookie scoop 1 tablespoon size
  • 1 Refrigerator to chill dough
  • 1 oven preheated to 350°F (177°C)

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 5 tablespoons powdered sugar plus extra for dusting
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 14 Hershey's chocolate kisses unwrapped

Instructions
 

  • Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and powdered sugar using the paddle attachment on high speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute, scraping the bowl sides as needed.
  • Add the flour and mix on low speed just until a dough forms.
  • Using a tablespoon-sized scoop, measure heaping scoops of dough. Press a chocolate kiss into the center of each portion and wrap dough around it completely, rolling into smooth balls.
  • Place cookie dough balls about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Chill the dough balls in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to prevent spreading during baking.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) while the dough chills.
  • Bake cookies for 12 minutes or until they are set but still pale.
  • Remove cookies from oven and let cool on the baking sheet.
  • Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Use powdered sugar containing cornstarch for best texture.
  • Any flavor of chocolate kisses can be used for variety.
  • Recipe can be doubled easily for larger batches.
