Delightful soft thumbprint cookies featuring a luscious Hershey’s Kiss at the center, these treats are perfect for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 32 minutes
  • Yield: 36 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 bag Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped (about 36 pieces)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. Scoop about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball, placing them on the prepared baking sheets (about 2 inches apart).
  6. Make an indentation in the center of each ball using your thumb or the back of a measuring teaspoon.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into each warm cookie.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill the dough for thicker cookies and experiment with different fillings such as peanut butter cups for a twist.
