Delightful sugar cookies topped with classic Hershey’s Kisses, perfect for festive occasions and sweet treats.
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 almond extract
3 tablespoons milk
24 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped
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, and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
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 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Immediately 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 sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
