1 ½

2

½

70
Hershey Kisses

2
cups

Instructions
Beat the butter, shortening, and sugar with an electric mixer for 3 minutes until soft and creamy.
¾ cups unsalted butter,
¼ cup shortening,
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
Add the eggs, vanilla, and instant pudding mix to the mixing bowl. Continue mixing until completely combined.
2 eggs,
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract,
1 box instant vanilla pudding
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2 ½ cups flour,
½ teaspoon salt,
1 teaspoon baking powder
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture a little at a time. Mix between additions until all the flour is incorporated.
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to form a dough ball about 1 1/2 tablespoons in size.
Press a Hershey Kiss candy into the center and pinch the dough around the Kiss to form a cone-shaped dough ball. Repeat with all the dough.
70 Hershey Kisses
Put the balls of dough in the fridge to chill for at least 60 minutes before baking.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Place the chilled dough balls on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. The cookies are done when the middle is set, and they are and light golden brown around the edges.
Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing them to a wire rack.
Put the powdered sugar in a bowl. While the cookies are still warm, roll them in the powdered sugar.
2 cups powdered sugar
Let them cool, then roll them in the powdered sugar again.
Notes
You need to chill the dough to keep the Kiss inside from melting.
Don't overbake the cookies.
Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat on the cookie sheets.
Roll in powdered sugar while the cookies are still warm and then again after they are cooled for a fun snowball look.
