Equipment
- stand mixer or hand mixer
- baking sheets or cookie sheets
- Parchment Paper or silicone baking mat
- Cookie Scoop
- wire cooling rack
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk if needed
- ½ cup Oreo cookies finely chopped
- 48 Hershey’s Kisses candies unwrapped
- ½ cup Seasonal sprinkles if desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream the butter and medium speed for 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides. Add the sugar and continue beating for 5 to 7 minutes or until fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until evenly combined. Add the flour mixture and beat until mixed.
- Slowly add the milk to the dough as the mixer runs, adding just enough to soften the dough.
- Using a small cookie scoop, portion the cookie dough and shape into balls. Roll each ball in the colored sugar or sprinkles, if desired.
- Place on the baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cookies are puffed and the edges are set.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes before pressing one candy into the center of each cookie.
- Transfer to a wire rack and allow the cookies to cool completely. The candies will look like they are melting but do not disturb them and they will resolidify in the correct shape.
Notes
- To bake your cookies, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick baking mat. This prevents sticking and makes clean up a breeze.
- Be sure to use room temperature butter and eggs for the best results. Cold ingredients will not mix together as well and may cause the cookies to spread or flatten too much.
- Make sure that you add the milk slowly, as you could easily add to make to the cookie dough. You want the dough to still be firm so that it doesn't spread to quickly.
