1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
3. Beat the butter on medium speed until smooth in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer. You can also use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.
4. Add the sugar and continue beating for 3 minutes until fluffy.
5. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract and mix until evenly combined.
6. Add the flour mixture and beat until mixed. 
7. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cookie crumbs.
8. Using 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the cookie dough and shape them in to balls.
9. Roll in the remaining cookie crumbs and place on the prepared cookie sheet about 1 inch apart.
10. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed, the edges are set, and the tops appear dry.
11. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes before pressing a cookie and cream kiss into the center of each cookie.
12. Transfer to a wire rack and allow the cookies to cool completely. The candies will look like they are melting but do not disturb them and they will resolidify in the correct shape.

CAN I USE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HERSHEY’S KISSES?

Yes, feel free to experiment with milk chocolate kisses, dark chocolate kisses, or any of your favorite varieties for the chocolate center.

There are so many Hershey Kisses options these days, and it’s never a bad idea to experiment a little!

WHAT IF MY CANDIES SEEM TO MELT?

While the candies may soften slightly upon pressing them into the hot cookies, they will keep their shape once cooled.

I think of it as taking on their final form, haha!

ANY ADDITIONS?

Feel free to try out any of the following options if you’re looking to try out something a little different:

• Add a layer of peanut butter beneath the Hershey’s kiss for extra richness.
• Mix in chocolate chips for double the chocolate.
• Decorate with festive sprinkles for the holiday season.
• Drizzle with melted chocolate for a fancy finish.
• Press a peanut butter cup into the center for a nutty twist.
• Garnish with toasted coconut for a tropical touch.
