Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 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
Topping
- 1 bag Hershey’s Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Chocolate Kisses
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for even baking.
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- 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.
- Add wet ingredients: Mix in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring moisture and flavor.
- Incorporate dry ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined to develop the dough without overmixing.
- Form dough balls: Using a cookie dough scoop or spoon, divide the dough into even portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball.
- Optional sprinkle coating: If desired, gently roll each dough ball in sprinkles to coat the exterior for a colorful finish.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place the dough balls spaced evenly on the prepared baking sheet to allow room for spreading.
- Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies turn lightly golden around the edges.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
