Strawberry Kiss Cookies are delightful soft sugar cookies topped with a signature Hershey's Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Chocolate Kiss. These cookies blend a buttery, tender base with a burst of strawberry-flavored chocolate, perfect for festive occasions or everyday treats.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (at room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Topping

  • 1 bag Hershey's Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Chocolate Kisses
  • Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking the cookies.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, use a mixer or a sturdy spoon to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until the batter is well combined and smooth.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to form the cookie dough. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
  6. Shape Dough Balls: Using a cookie dough scoop or spoon, divide the dough into evenly sized portions and roll each into a ball.
  7. Optional Sprinkles: If using sprinkles, gently roll each dough ball in sprinkles to coat before placing on the baking sheet.
  8. Arrange Cookies: Place the dough balls spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow room for spreading during baking.
  9. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
  10. Add Chocolate Kisses: Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press one Hershey's Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Chocolate Kiss gently into the center of each warm cookie.
  11. Cool and Transfer: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet briefly, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Storage: Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh and retain their soft texture.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature eggs and softened butter to ensure the dough mixes evenly.
  • Do not overbake; cookies should be lightly golden at the edges but soft in the center.
  • Sprinkles add a festive touch but are completely optional.
  • Press the chocolate kisses into warm cookies immediately after baking to allow them to slightly melt and adhere perfectly.
  • Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
