Ingredients
1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)
2 cups + 2 tbsp (280g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 package (3 oz) strawberry-flavored gelatin mix
1/4 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
24–30 chocolate kiss candies, unwrapped
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add egg, vanilla, and almond extract.
2. Mix in strawberry gelatin until fully combined.
3. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt separately. Gradually add to wet mixture until soft dough forms.
4. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and chill for 1 hour.

6. Let cool 2 minutes, then press chocolate kiss in the center.
7. Cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar.
Notes
Chilling prevents spreading and keeps cookies tender.
Dust cookies before adding kisses for a neat finish.
