Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Mix the first three ingredients together in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.
Use a small cookie scoop to shape dough into tablespoon-sized round balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Optionally, lightly coat the outside of each ball with sugar by rolling the ball in a shallow bowl of sugar.
Flatten balls to about ½ inch thickness and bake for 8 minutes.
Remove cookies from the oven and place a chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie and press it lightly in place.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 3 minutes more. The bottoms will be golden brown, but the tops may not look quite done.
Remove cookies from oven and allow to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes and then on a wire rack until cooled. Cookies will continue to firm up when cooling. Enjoy!
