Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg (at room temperature)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

2. Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light.
3. Step 3: Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined.
4. Step 4: Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until the dough comes together evenly.
5. Step 5: Use a cookie dough scoop to divide the dough, then roll each portion into a ball.
6. Step 6: If using sprinkles, gently roll each dough ball in sprinkles before placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Step 7: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn lightly golden around the edges.
8. Step 8: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately press a Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Chocolate Kiss into the center of each cookie.
9. Step 9: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations

• For extra festive cookies, try using colored sprinkles or sanding sugar before baking.
• Make sure the butter is softened but not melted to achieve the perfect dough texture.
• Substitute vanilla extract with almond extract for a different flavor.

Storage

Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If you want to keep them longer, freeze the baked cookies without the chocolate kisses, then top with kisses after thawing. To reheat, gently warm in a microwave for a few seconds to soften the chocolate.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of chocolate kiss?

Yes, you can swap the strawberry-flavored kisses for classic milk chocolate or any other flavored Hershey’s kisses you prefer.

Why do I need to add the kiss immediately after baking?

Pressing the kiss while the cookie is still warm allows it to slightly melt and adhere nicely to the cookie, creating that perfect gooey center.

Topping

• 1 bag Hershey’s Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Chocolate Kisses
• Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for even baking.
2. Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
3. Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cookie texture.
4. Add wet ingredients: Mix in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring moisture and flavor.
5. Incorporate dry ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined to develop the dough without overmixing.
6. Form dough balls: Using a cookie dough scoop or spoon, divide the dough into even portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball.
7. Optional sprinkle coating: If desired, gently roll each dough ball in sprinkles to coat the exterior for a colorful finish.
8. Arrange on baking sheet: Place the dough balls spaced evenly on the prepared baking sheet to allow room for spreading.
9. Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies turn lightly golden around the edges.
10. Add chocolate kisses: Immediately after removing from the oven, press one Hershey’s Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Chocolate Kiss gently into the center of each warm cookie.
11. Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Store properly: Once fully cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and softness.

Notes

• For best results, use room temperature egg to ensure smooth mixing.
• Do not overbake; cookies should be just lightly golden to keep them soft.
• Rolling in sprinkles is optional but adds a festive and colorful appearance.
• Press the chocolate kisses immediately upon removing the cookies from the oven so they slightly melt and adhere well.
• Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
