Ingredients
 

For the Cookies:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • Chocolate kisses unwrapped (about 48, depending on the size of your cookies)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Mix Dry Ingredients:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Set aside.

Cream Butter and Sugars:

  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add Eggs and Vanilla:

  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Combine with Dry Ingredients:

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Stir in Oats:

  • Fold in the rolled oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Shape and Bake:

  • Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.

Press Chocolate Kisses:

  • Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, gently press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. The heat from the cookies will slightly melt the chocolate, allowing it to stick as the cookies cool.

Cool:

  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
