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.
