Equipment

  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment Paper
  • Electric Mixer
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Cookie scoop
  • Wire Rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Beat softened butter with granulated and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–5 minutes.
  3. Mix in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to butter mixture in three parts, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.
  6. Cover dough and refrigerate 30–60 minutes to prevent spreading.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to form 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until edges are firm but centers are soft.
  9. Remove from oven and immediately press a mint chocolate Hershey’s kiss into the center of each cookie.
  10. Let cookies cool 5–10 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to wire rack. Optionally dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate.

Notes

Chilling the dough is optional but highly recommended to prevent spreading. Feel free to get creative with decorations, using powdered sugar, sprinkles, or a drizzle of melted chocolate.
