Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 tsp baking soda
- 0.25 tsp baking powder
- 24 maraschino cherries drained and halved
- 24 Hershey’s Kisses chocolates unwrapped
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and milk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring until just blended.
- Roll tablespoonfuls of the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each ball slightly and press half of a maraschino cherry into the center.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Immediately press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie as soon as they come out of the oven. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For added flavor, consider chilling the dough before baking to enhance the overall texture of the cookies.
