Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Medium Bowl
- Large Bowl
- Wire Rack
Ingredients
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar divided
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 0.5 cup pink sprinkles
- 1 cup chocolate kisses unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent any sticking. This makes clean-up a breeze!
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside for a moment.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and ½ cup of the powdered sugar until it’s wonderfully creamy and fluffy.
- Add in the vanilla extract, almond extract, and the egg. Mix until everything is smoothly combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into your wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined – don't overmix for tender cookies!
- Carefully fold in the pink sprinkles, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Use a tablespoon to drop small balls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches between them so they have room to spread.
- Pop them into your preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges look lightly golden and inviting.
- As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each warm cookie. Watch that delightful melty magic happen!
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once fully cooled, dust them with the remaining powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and elegance.
Notes
These cookies are perfect for Valentine's Day or any occasion that calls for a touch of pink and chocolate!
