Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon strawberry extract or 2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberry powder
  • Red or pink gel food coloring (optional)
  • 24 Hershey’s Kisses (milk chocolate or white chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and strawberry extract or powder. Add food coloring if desired and mix until combined.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  6. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until cookies are just set but still soft.
  8. Immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie after baking.
  9. Let cookies cool on the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Roll dough balls in sugar before baking for extra sparkle.
  • Use white chocolate or strawberry cream Kisses for flavor variety.
  • Gel food coloring gives vibrant color without adding extra moisture.
  • Freeze-dried strawberry powder gives a more intense berry flavor than extract.
  • Freeze unbaked dough balls and bake directly from frozen with added bake time.
