Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Kiss Cookies

  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  5. Remove the chilled dough, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions, and roll into balls. Optionally, roll in powdered sugar or pink granulated sugar.
  6. Arrange the cookie dough balls on the lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes until edges are set and centers remain soft.
  8. Let the cookies rest for 1–2 minutes before pressing a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.
  9. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely.
