Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup cherry jam
12 chocolate kisses, unwrapped
Red and pink sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture until fully combined.
Divide the dough in half. To one half, mix in the cherry jam until fully incorporated.
Take a small piece of each dough and roll them into logs. Twist them together to form a swirl, and then shape into circles on the baking sheet.
Place a chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie and sprinkle with red and pink sprinkles.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
