Easy Witch’s Hat Sugar Cookies Recipe

These cookies feature a soft sugar cookie base topped with a chocolate kiss, creating a whimsical witch’s hat shape. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and bake, yielding approximately 24 cookies.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
24 chocolate kisses
Colored icing for decoration

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until combined.
Shape the Cookies: Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
Add the Chocolate Kisses: While the cookies are still warm, gently press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie to resemble a witch’s hat.
Decorate: Once cooled, use colored icing to add fun designs and details to your witch’s hats.
