Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 (3.56 oz)box white chocolate pudding mix (dry)
  • 1 (10 oz) bag Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses*
  • granulated sugar for rolling*

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until combined. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter until smooth. Add in both sugars and mix on high for 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the egg and egg yolk one at a time, mixing after each addition until combined. Stir in the vanilla and pudding mix.
  • With mixer set on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture into the wet mixture until everything has been incorporated.
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 days.
  • Once dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350ºF. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Roll dough into 1-inch balls and then rolling each one in the sugar. Place them on the baking about 2 inches apart. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until tops of cookies begin to crackle.
  • Press a Hershey Kiss on top of each cookie immediately after removing from the oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 10 days.

Notes

*Be sure to place Hershey Kisses in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before placing them on the freshly baked cookies. This will allow the to hold their shape better.
*I used Fall-themed sprinkle sugar for rolling my cookies, but granulated sugar or even cinnamon sugar would work just as well!
