Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup crushed candy canes
- 24 Hershey's Kisses (approximately)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and crushed candy canes. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
- As soon as you remove them from the oven, gently press one Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie while they’re warm. Allow them to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.
- Once cooled completely, serve these festive delights at your next gathering or cozy up at home with them!
