Soft and festive sugar cookies rolled in colored sugar and topped with a classic chocolate kiss, perfect for spring celebrations, holidays, or anytime you want a cheerful and nostalgic sweet treat.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup white granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

1 large egg

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon milk (optional)

Colored sugar or sprinkles, for rolling

24 Hershey Kisses

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer on medium-low speed to cream the granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture about 1/2 cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. If needed, add the optional milk or a little extra flour to reach a playdough-like consistency.
  6. Using a small cookie scoop, roll the dough into balls.
  7. Roll each dough ball in colored sugar or sprinkles and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Remove from the oven and immediately press a Hershey Kiss into the center of each cookie.
  10. Allow cookies to cool completely so the chocolate can set before serving.

Notes

Do not overbake to keep the cookies soft and tender.

If the dough feels too soft, chill briefly before rolling.

Dough can be refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking.

Freeze unbaked dough balls (without chocolate) for up to 2 months and bake from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to baking time.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.

Microwave for 5–8 seconds if you prefer a slightly softened chocolate center.
