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
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
12 Hershey kisses

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Combine the butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric hand mixer to beat the butter and sugars together until smooth and creamy.
Whisk in the egg until it is thoroughly incorporated with the creamed sugar. Reduce the speed of your hand mixer and gently whisk in the flour, jello powder, baking powder, and baking soda.
Use a standard size cookie scoop to drop balls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet. Bake your cookies for 11 minutes.
Remove your cookies from the oven and press a Hershey kiss into the center of each cookie. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes and then transfer them to a wire cooling rack. 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.
