Kid job
Kids can unwrap the kisses, flatten the dough, and wrap each kiss like a little present. A grown-up handles the hot oven.
What you need
- 1 package (24 count) frozen or refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
- 24 Hershey's Kisses milk chocolates
- A little flour for your hands (so the dough does not stick!)
How to make it
- 1Ask a grown-up to heat the oven to the temperature on the cookie dough package.
- 2Unwrap all the Hershey kisses and place them in a small bowl. Try not to eat them — they are the surprise inside!
- 3If the dough is frozen, let it sit for about 5 minutes so it is soft enough to squish.
- 4Wash your hands, then lightly dust them with flour. Take one piece of cookie dough and flatten it in your palm like a tiny pancake.
- 5Place one Hershey kiss in the middle of the dough. Fold the dough up and around the kiss, then roll it into a ball so the kiss is completely hidden.
- 6Place the cookie balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between each one.
- 7Ask a grown-up to bake the cookies for the time on the package, usually 10–14 minutes, until the edges are golden and the tops look set.
- 8Let the cookies cool for a few minutes. Then take a bite and discover the melty chocolate kiss treasure inside!
Grown-ups: please help with the oven, the stove, and anything sharp.
