Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 unit large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2.5 cups old-fashioned oats
• 36 units Hershey's Kisses (chocolate candies)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.

Step 6

Stir in the old-fashioned oats by hand using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, and the centers look set.

Step 9

While the cookies are baking, unwrap the Hershey's Kisses and set them aside.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 1-2 minutes on the sheets. Then, gently press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie while they are still warm.

Step 11

Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. The chocolate will soften from the warmth of the cookies but will firm up as they cool.

Step 12

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!
