1 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. sugar + extra
2 1/2 c. SR flour
1 egg
Variety of flavored Hershey's kisses, unwrapped (I used mint**, cherry, and caramel)
food coloring, if desired
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix ingredients. Add food coloring if desired. Place some extra sugar in a bowl. Roll 1 T. of dough into a ball and roll in sugar to coat. Place on cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes then remove from oven and place an unwrapped Hershey's kiss in the middle. Push kiss into dough just as it starts to crack. Bake 2 more minutes. This allows the kiss to melt a bit so it won't pop off when it cools. Remove from oven and cool 5 minutes, then remove from cookie sheet and allow to cool completely. Place the cookies in the refrigerator so that the kiss will set up hard again making it easier to stack in a container.
**the mint truffle kisses didn't set up as well as the others. You can tell in the picture they're still "wet". I added green food coloring to the shortbread for the mint cookies, red food coloring for the cherry ones, and left them plain for the caramel. They are always a hit!
You can also place preserves or ganache in the indentions after they've been baked for thumbprint cookies or ganache cookies. (See thumbprint recipe for additional instructions.)
