Ingredients
  • 2 cups butter, softened
  • 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (I use 2%)
  • 1/4 tsp mayonnaise
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • Dash salt
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 pkg Hershey's kisses
 
Method

In large mixing bowl cream butter, the 2 1/2 cups sugar and the vanilla; add eggs. Add milk and mayonnaise. Stir together flour, baking soda, and salt; add to butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Form dough into rounded balls and roll in a mixture of 1/2 cup EACH powdered sugar and regular sugar. Place on cookie sheets and press kisses on top; bake at 350 degrees for 7-8 minutes or until done. You may bake these immediately as above, or prepare the dough, place in a zip-locking freezer bag and freeze or refrigerate. (Thaw dough in refrigerator, if necessary.) To bake, roll dough into balls and continue with directions.
