Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam or strawberry preserves
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 24 milk chocolate kisses (unwrapped)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, vanilla extract, and strawberry jam to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Combine the Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Shape the Cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
- Add the Chocolate Kisses: While the cookies are still warm, gently press a chocolate 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.
- Optional Garnish: Once the cookies are cooled, dust with powdered sugar for a festive touch before serving.
Notes
- You can use any variety of jam or preserves for a different flavor, such as raspberry or blackberry.
- For a fun twist, try using flavored Hershey’s Kisses like caramel or almond.
- These cookies are perfect for gifting, especially around Valentine’s Day or holidays.
- Make sure not to overbake the cookies; they should remain soft with a slight golden edge.
