Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter
- ½ cup white granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup strawberry jello powder or your favorite flavor
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 12 Hershey kisses
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugars together with an electric mixer until light, smooth, and creamy.
- Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour, Jell-O powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix just until a soft dough forms and no dry streaks remain.
- Using a standard-size cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for about 11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are lightly golden.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use room temperature butter: Ensures smooth creaming and better texture
- Don’t overmix dough: Prevents dense cookies
- Chill dough if sticky: Makes shaping easier
- Use cookie scoop: Keeps cookies the same size We used a #40 cookie scoop. As long as your cookie dough balls are about 1 ½ tablespoons big you are good to go.
- Add kisses immediately after baking: Helps them stick properly
- Avoid overbaking: Keeps cookies soft and chewy
- Press kiss gently: Prevents cracking cookies
- Space cookies evenly: Allows proper spreading
- Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days on the counter.
- Allow cookies to cool: Let your cookies cool completely before storing them so the hershey kisses don’t melt in the container.
