Gingerbread Kiss Cookies
Description
This recipe starts by blending softened butter with light brown sugar, molasses, egg, and vanilla for a rich, sweet base. Flour is mixed with ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, baking soda, and salt to create the warm, spicy flavor profile characteristic of gingerbread.
After forming the dough, small balls are rolled in white sanding sugar, which adds texture and a touch of extra sweetness. Baking at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes yields cookies that are set but soft in the center. Pressing a Hershey's Kiss into each cookie shortly after removing them from the oven allows the chocolate to soften without melting completely, creating a distinctive topping and complementing the spice.
These cookies cool to a chewy, slightly crisp texture with the combined flavors ideal for holiday treats or anytime gingerbread is desired.
