1/4 cup all-purpose flour

06 -
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
07 -
3/4 teaspoon green gel food coloring
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a mini muffin pan with baking spray or line with paper liners and set aside.
02 -
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and green gel food coloring until fully blended.
03 -
Using a handheld mixer on low speed, blend sugar cookie mix, all-purpose flour, unsalted butter, and egg mixture in a large bowl for 2 to 3 minutes until thick dough forms.
04 -
Scoop 1½ tablespoons of dough with a 1½-inch cookie scoop, flatten into a 3-inch disc, place a Hershey’s Kiss upright in the center, then carefully wrap sides around the candy and shape into a ball.
05 -
Arrange dough balls in the prepared muffin pan, keeping Hershey’s Kisses upright. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until dough is set but not browned.
06 -
Immediately place one heart candy sprinkle offset to the right from the center atop each cookie. Cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Avoid overbaking to prevent browning; cookies should be soft around the edges and fully cooked at the center.
