Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate kisses (unwrapped)
Additional granulated sugar for rolling

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
Shape the Cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and then roll them in granulated sugar. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven.
Add the Kisses: Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie while they are still warm. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
