Soft buttery cookies with chocolate kisses and pastel sprinkles, perfect for spring gatherings.

# What You Need:

→ Dough

01 - 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
02 - 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
03 - 1 large egg
04 - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
05 - 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
06 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
07 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

→ Decoration

08 - 36 chocolate blossom kisses (such as Hershey's Kisses), unwrapped
09 - Pastel sprinkles or colored sanding sugar

# How-To:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
03 - Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated.
06 - Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll them into smooth balls. Roll each in pastel sprinkles or colored sanding sugar for a festive look.
07 - Place balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
08 - Bake for 8–10 minutes, until edges are set but centers are still soft.
09 - Remove from oven and immediately press a chocolate blossom kiss into the center of each cookie.
10 - Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The dough comes together in under 15 minutes and uses pantry staples you probably already have
  • They look impressive on a holiday platter but require zero fancy decorating skills
  • That moment when the chocolate kiss sinks into the warm center is pure magic
02 -
  • Work quickly when pressing the chocolate kisses into the hot cookies, they need that warmth to adhere properly
  • If the sprinkles fall off while rolling, press them gently into the dough with your palms
  • Overbaking makes them crisp instead of soft, so set a timer and check at the earliest moment
03 -
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizing, which helps them bake evenly
  • Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even browning
