Ingredients

Scale

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons milk
24 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, press one unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie. The cookie will crack slightly around the edges, which is normal.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
