• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

What You Need

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

Time to Cook

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 10 minutes
• Total Time: 25 minutes

Steps to Make It

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Mix the Dough

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

4. Roll in Sugar

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the pastel-colored sanding sugar until fully coated.

5. Bake the Cookies

Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden.

6. Add the Chocolate Kiss

Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each one. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Make It Perfect

• Use room-temperature butter for a perfectly creamy dough.
• Do not overbake; the cookies should be soft when they come out of the oven.
• Press the chocolate kiss into the cookie gently to avoid cracking.

Mix It Up

• Use white chocolate or dark chocolate kisses for a fun flavor twist.
• Add a few drops of almond or coconut extract for a unique taste.
• Try rolling the cookies in crushed sprinkles instead of sanding sugar.

Pair these cookies with a glass of milk, a hot cup of coffee, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
