Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 30 Hersheys Kisses
Base Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Fire up your oven to a precise 350°F with the rack positioned in the center.
- Grab your mixer and whip 1 cup softened butter with 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Crack 2 large eggs into the butter mixture and pour in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth.
- Grab a separate bowl and sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into your wet mixture, stirring until a consistent dough forms.
- Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Use a tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Slide the baking sheet into the 350°F oven and bake for exactly 11 minutes, watching for golden edges.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, gently press 1 unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each warm cookie.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 3 minutes to set, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and create a thicker, chewier cookie.
- Press the Hershey’s Kiss gently into the warm cookie to help it melt slightly and adhere better.
- For a gluten-free version, swap the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
