Step-by-Step Instructions 👩🍳
1. Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Make the Cookie Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and strawberry gelatin powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
3. Shape & Coat the Cookies
- Scoop 1-inch dough balls and roll them between your palms.
- Roll each ball in granulated sugar, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Place the coated dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
4. Bake to Perfection
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are just set and the cookies appear slightly puffed.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for 1 minute before adding the chocolate kisses.
5. Add the Chocolate Kiss 💋🍫
- Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each warm cookie.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet, which helps the chocolate kiss hold its shape.
