Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla until fully combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Form Cookie Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until a dough forms.
Coat and Bake: Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls and roll each one in a different color of sanding sugar to coat. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes until set.
Add Chocolate Kiss: Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.
Cool and Serve: Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a festive touch, use flower-shaped cookie stamps or alternate between milk chocolate and white chocolate kisses.
