Secret Hershey Kiss Cookies are perfectly soft and chewy sugar cookies, coated in sweet powdered sugar, complete with a delicious hidden chocolate surprise inside. They're the perfect Christmas cookie!
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Begin by preparing one batch of sugar cookie dough from the linked recipe.
Scoop out dough by the tablespoonful. Make a ball with the dough and then press a Hershey Kiss into the center. Pinch the dough up around the kiss to create a cone shaped ball of cookie dough.
Repeat until all dough is used. Refrigerate the cookies for at least an hour up to overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the chilled cookies on the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until set and lightly golden brown around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes or until cool enough to handle but still warm.
Place the powdered sugar in a bowl. Place the warm cookies in the bowl one at a time and gently roll to coat. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are cooled completely, roll them in the powdered sugar again.
