Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)
- 2 cups + 2 tbsp (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 package (3 oz) strawberry-flavored gelatin mix
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
- 24–30 chocolate kiss candies, unwrapped
Instructions
- Prepare the dough by beating softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and almond extracts, then mix in strawberry-flavored gelatin.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
- Scoop dough and roll into balls. Place on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place chilled dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes until edges are set. Press chocolate kisses into the center after baking.
- Cool completely on a wire rack and dust lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Chilling the dough is crucial for maintaining shape. Room temperature ingredients help achieve the best texture.
