Small-batch Snowball Cookies with Kisses
Description
Small-batch Snowball Cookies with Kisses start with softened salted butter creamed with powdered sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Adding all-purpose flour forms a dough that envelopes a Hershey’s Kiss in each portion. The dough is handled gently to cover the candy fully before arranging on a baking sheet.
Baking at 400°F produces lightly browned edges while keeping the center soft. Once cooled, rolling the cookies in powdered sugar creates a delicate coating that enhances their sweetness without overpowering the chocolate nestled inside.
These cookies work well for small gatherings or as a thoughtful, homemade treat where a chocolate surprise inside a sweet, crumbly cookie is appreciated. The dough’s richness and the balance between buttery dough and chocolate make each bite satisfying.
Using salted butter eliminates the need for additional salt, but if unsalted butter is used, a slight amount of salt should be added to maintain flavor balance. Taking care not to leave flour streaks while mixing helps ensure a consistent dough texture.
Ingredients
- 10 Hershey’s Kisses
- 1/4 cup butter softened, salted, 56g
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar 15g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon, 67g
Topping
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar 60g
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Unwrap 10 Kisses and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Beat until well combined and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add flour and beat, starting on low, working up to high until mixture clumps and forms a dough. Scrape bottom and sides so no streaks of flour remain.
- Scoop a half-ounce spoonful of dough and roll into a ball. Flatten the dough between your palms and set a Kiss in the center. Wrap the edges of the dough around so all the chocolate is covered. Place on prepared baking sheet and repeat with the rest of the dough and candies.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until the edges of the dough are lightly browned. Cool on the baking tray until cool enough to handle.
- Pour powdered sugar into a bowl and roll cookies in the sugar until coated. Enjoy!
Notes
- When using unsalted butter, add about 1/8 teaspoon of salt with the flour for balanced flavor.
- Roll cookies in powdered sugar after cooling to create a crisp, sweet coating.
