How to Make Oatmeal Kiss Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, shortening, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the rolled oats and nuts (if using).
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  8. Place the dough balls 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Immediately after removing from the oven, press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. The heat will melt the chocolate slightly.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
