This article will guide you through the process of making these delightful blossom cookies.
Ingredients:
– 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 large egg
– 36 chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done using an electric mixer or by hand with a wooden spoon.
4. Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense cookies.
6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls using your hands. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
8. As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, press a chocolate candy kiss into the center of each cookie. The heat from the cookies will slightly melt the chocolate and help it adhere to the cookie.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
