Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup of room temperature butter and 1 ¾ cups of powdered sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add 1 whole egg, 1 egg yolk, 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract, and a few drops of green food coloring. Mix until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of kosher salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Scoop out small portions of dough and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place them on prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 7-9 minutes, until edges are set while centers remain soft.
  7. Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes. Press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.
  8. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
