Hershey Kiss Sugar Cookies in 27 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the sanding sugar until evenly coated.
7. Arrange cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
8. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are set but the tops remain pale.
9. Immediately upon removing from the oven, press one Hershey’s Kiss firmly into the center of each warm cookie.
10. Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before moving.
