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

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
  2. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and strawberry gelatin powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

3. Shape & Coat the Cookies

  1. Scoop 1-inch dough balls and roll them between your palms.
  2. Roll each ball in granulated sugar, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
  3. 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 💋🍫

  1. Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each warm cookie.
  2. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet, which helps the chocolate kiss hold its shape.
