Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp (3g) baking soda
  • ¼ tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 12 oz (340g) Hershey’s Candy Cane Kisses
  • ¼ cup (50g) festive sprinkles

Instructions:

  1. Cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture looks pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt, then slowly stir the dry ingredients into the wet batter until just combined.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Roll each ball in festive sprinkles until coated.
  4. Place dough balls 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are barely golden but the centers remain soft.
  5. Immediately upon removing the tray from the oven, press one Hershey's Candy Cane Kiss firmly into the center of each cookie. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
