Equipment

  • Electric Mixer
  • cookie sheets
  • cooling rack

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
  • 36 Hershey's Kisses unwrapped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Beat the butter and both sugars on medium speed, scraping down the sides as needed, beating for 5 to 7 minutes or until fluffy.
  • Add vanilla and flour, salt, beating until evenly combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Using a small (1 tablespoon) cookie scoop, portion the cookie dough. Press the dough around a candy until completely covered and shape into balls. Place on the baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies are puffed and the edges are set.
  • Remove the cookie sheets from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets.
  • Transfer to a wire rack and allow the cookies to cool completely.

Notes

 
  • Once you add the dry ingredients to your cookie dough, don't overmix. Mix until just combined so that your cookie dough is not tough. 
  • I've found that placing a piece of parchment paper on ungreased baking sheets is the best way to bake cookie recipes like this one. It will prevent the bottom of your cookies from browning too much and sticking to your pan. 
  • Make sure you roll the cookie dough all the way around the chocolate kisses and pinch it closed. 
  • I highly recommend that you allow these cookies to cool completely before you eat them. I'm a sucker for warm cookies also, however, the melted Kiss in the center needs time to harden back up before you take a bite of these cookies.
