4 Ingredient Secret Kiss Cookies
These secret kiss cookies are a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth cookie with a hidden soft chocolate center.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, brought to room temperature
- 5 tbsp (38 g) powdered sugar, plus additional for dusting
- 1 cup (126 g) all purpose flour
- 14 Hershey's chocolate kisses, unwrapped
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add butter and sugar. Using the flat paddle attachment on the mixer, cream at highest speed until light and fluffy (this should only take about 1 minute). Make sure to stop and scrape the sides of your bowl a few times in between mixing to make sure all the sugar and butter gets mixed.
- Add in flour. Using the lowest speed (stir cycle on my stand mixer), mix the flour into the butter mixture just until a dough forms.
- Using a 1 tbsp cookie scoop, measure out 1 heaping tbsp of dough. Press a chocolate kiss into the center of the dough and then push and wrap the rest of the dough around the chocolate until it is fully covered. Roll the dough between your palms until you have a smooth round ball. Place onto prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing dough balls about 1 inch apart. Place dough balls into the fridge for 15 minutes to help them firm up. This will prevent the dough from spreading out too much during baking.
- While your dough is refrigerating, preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Bake cookies for about 12 minutes or until the cookies are done. The cookies should stay pale. Remove cookies and let them cool on the cookie sheet. Once cooled, remove cookies and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
