- Place on a baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake at 375F for 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and place a Hershey’s Kiss in the middle, pressing down just enough to stick and for the dough to start cracking. Place back into the oven for an additional 2 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly before moving to a cooling rack.
Notes
- These cookies will store well at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-4 days. If you would like to keep them longer, you can freeze them.
- To freeze the cookie dough, either wrap the whole batch of dough in plastic wrap then place it in a freezer bag, or portion the dough into dough balls first. Freeze the individual dough balls on a wax paper lined sheet for a couple hours. Place frozen dough balls in a freezer bag. To bake, preheat the oven according to the recipe. Remove frozen dough balls and place on baking sheet to thaw while oven preheats. Roll balls in sprinkles or sugar. Bake according to recipe instructions.
