The classic blossom cookies that are made with Hershey Kisses are usually a Christmas treat. These cookies can also be a huge hit for Easter, spring or summer. They're deliciously soft and chewy and decorated in beautiful colorful sanding sugar.

Ingredients

• 2 c. all-purpose flour
• 1/4 t. baking soda
• 1/4 t. salt
• 1 c. granulated sugar
• 1/2 c. unsalted butter, at room temperature (not margarine)
• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 1 1/2 t. vanilla extract
• 1 to 2 T. milk
• brightly colored sugar/sanding sugar/sugar sprinkles (available in the baking aisle or online)
• 32 Hershey kisses, unwrapped

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking liners; set aside.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
3. In another large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract; beat until combined. With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour mixture; beat until just combined. Continue mixing on a low speed while streaming in the milk, adding just enough to soften the dough.
