What You Need to Make Easter Blossom Cookies

Butter: Makes the cookies rich and soft
Sugar: Sweetens things up and helps with that perfect texture
Egg: Holds everything together and adds a little moisture
Vanilla Extract: Brings in that warm, cozy flavor
Flour: Gives the cookies structure so they don’t fall apart
Baking Powder: Adds a little lift so they stay light, not brick-like
Salt: Balances the sweetness and makes the other flavors pop
Pastel Sanding Sugar: Adds color and a little sparkle—basically makes them Easter-ready
Chocolate Kisses: The chocolatey center that makes these extra fun!

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy.

Step 3: Mix in egg and vanilla until smooth.

Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until dough forms.

Step 6: Scoop dough into 1-inch balls and roll in pastel sanding sugar.

Step 7: Place dough balls on baking sheet, a couple inches apart.

Step 8: Bake for 8-10 minutes, until edges are set but centers are still soft.

Step 9: Remove from oven and press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.

Step 10: Cool on baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

These pastel-perfect Easter cookies are soft, sweet, and topped with a chocolate kiss—because every holiday deserves a little chocolate.

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar

chocolate kisses, unwrapped

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Mix in the egg and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
