👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Cream Butter & Sugar
Cream softened butter and granulated sugar together in a stand mixer or bowl for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; mix well.
Add Dry Ingredients
Add flour, baking powder, and salt; mix on low speed until a smooth dough forms.
Roll in Festive Sprinkles
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions, roll into smooth balls with slightly damp hands, and roll completely in red and green nonpareil sprinkles to coat all sides.
Bake Until Puffed
Place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes until puffed and lightly set.
Press Kisses & Cool
Press a milk chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie right out of the oven. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
🍪 Storing & Freezing Cookies
Room Temperature: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Place a sheet of parchment paper between layers to preserve delicate crunch.
Freezing: Baked cookies freeze wonderfully for up to 2 months in an airtight container. Thaw at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
