  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set and the centers remain soft.

  • Press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie while they are still warm.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on the wire rack before serving.
