- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Roll the Cookies: Scoop out about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll each ball in powdered sugar.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the rolled balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Add the Kisses: As soon as you take them out of the oven, press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a thicker icing, you can add more powdered sugar when rolling the cookies.
- Make sure to press the Hershey’s Kisses in right after baking for the best melting effect.
