  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

    Unwrap all 46 chocolate kisses and place them on a plate. Put them in the refrigerator until you're ready to use.

    In a large mixing bowl, mix with a hand mixer butter, sugar, egg, milk, and vanilla extract together. Mix until they are all combined.
