Description
A festive twist on blossom cookies! These soft, chewy sugar cookies are rolled in colorful sugar and topped with a Kiss—perfect for Easter!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- Colored sanding sugar (pink, yellow, blue, purple)
- 32 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Set aside.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. If the dough is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk until the desired consistency is reached.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in colored sanding sugar to coat, then place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Remove from the oven and immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use pastel-colored sanding sugar for a festive Easter look.
- For a flavor twist, use flavored Hershey’s Kisses like caramel or white chocolate.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
