Description

Spring Blossom Cookies are delightful bite-sized treats featuring a soft, buttery sugar cookie base rolled in vibrant sanding sugar and topped with a classic Hershey’s Kiss. These cookies bake quickly and are perfect for festive occasions or anytime you want a colorful, sweet snack.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 3/4 cup Salted Butter, softened
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda

Topping

  • Bright Colored Sanding Sugar
  • 24 Hershey Kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside for easy, non-stick baking.
  2. Unwrap Kisses: Remove the wrappers from the 24 Hershey Kisses and set the chocolates aside for later.
  3. Cream Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, softened salted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda to evenly distribute the leavening agent.
  5. Make Cookie Dough: Gradually add the flour mixture into the creamed wet ingredients, beating until a soft cookie dough forms with no dry flour visible.
  6. Shape and Roll Cookies: Using your hands, shape the dough into approximately 1-inch diameter balls. Roll each ball in the bright colored sanding sugar to coat evenly, then place them on the prepared baking sheet spaced about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 7 minutes, or until they are just set but not browned, maintaining a soft texture.
  8. Add Hershey Kisses: Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, press one unwrapped Hershey Kiss firmly into the center of each cookie. The warmth will help the chocolate slightly melt and stick.
  9. Cool Completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet so the Hershey Kisses set firmly before transferring or serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature butter to ensure proper creaming with sugar.
  • If you prefer a different type of chocolate, mini peanut butter cups or flavored kisses make excellent substitutes.
  • Bright colored sanding sugar adds a festive touch but can be swapped with regular granulated sugar or colored sprinkles.
  • Make sure not to overbake; these cookies are meant to be soft and chewy.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
