Description

Spring Blossom Cookies are delightful, buttery sugar cookies rolled in colorful sprinkles and topped with a classic Hershey Kiss, perfect for festive occasions or a fun treat. These cookies combine a tender crumb with a burst of sweetness and a charming presentation, baked to golden perfection in just 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon milk (optional)

Toppings

  • Colored sugar or sprinkles for rolling
  • 24 Hershey Kisses

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to ensure even baking and easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This ensures your leavening is evenly distributed.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium-low speed to mix the granulated sugar and softened butter. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, which typically takes a few minutes.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Continue mixing until the ingredients are fully incorporated into a smooth batter.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, ½ cup at a time, mixing until combined. The dough should resemble playdough in texture. If too dry, add the optional milk by tablespoons until desired consistency is reached; if too soft, add a bit more flour.
  6. Form Cookie Balls: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, shape the dough into evenly sized balls to ensure uniform baking.
  7. Roll in Colored Sugar: Roll each cookie ball generously in colored sugar or sprinkles. This adds vibrant color and a festive touch to your cookies.
  8. Arrange and Bake: Place the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them to allow for spreading. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown.
  9. Add Hershey Kisses: Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, press one Hershey Kiss into the center of each cookie while they are still soft to create a perfectly melted chocolate center.
  10. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet, so they firm up and the chocolate centers set. Once cooled, serve and enjoy your colorful Spring Blossom Cookies!

Notes

  • Optional milk can be added to adjust dough consistency if it feels too dry.
  • Use room temperature butter for best creaming results.
  • Keep an eye on baking time to prevent over-browning.
  • Hershey Kisses should be pressed in right out of the oven for optimal melting and adhesion.
  • Colored sugar or sprinkles can be customized to match holiday or party themes.
