Spring baking just hits different, doesn’t it? The colors get brighter, the kitchen smells sweeter, and suddenly your counter looks like it belongs in a bakery window. That’s exactly what happened the moment these Spring Blossom Cookies came out of the oven. Covered in sparkling sanding sugar, they practically glow—and FYI, they’re impossible to ignore. My niece spotted them instantly and made a beeline for the pink ones. Naturally, a few “samples” had to go home with her. 😄
One bite in, and it’s game over. These aren’t just cute cookies—they’re dangerously good. Soft centers, chewy edges, and that classic sugar cookie flavor we all crave. IMO, this is exactly how Floral Sugar Cookies should taste. Sweet, tender, and just rich enough to make you reach for another without thinking twice.
What really takes these cookies over the top? The chocolate kiss tucked right into the center. Pro tip: if you can find Birthday Cake Hershey Kisses, grab them. Seriously. They add a fun flavor boost that pairs perfectly with the sugar cookie base and pastel coating. Milk chocolate works too, but the birthday cake version brings the party vibes. 🎉

Spring Blossom Cookies
Ingredients
Method
Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
Unwrap all the Hershey Kisses and set them aside within reach. You’ll need to work quickly once the cookies come out of the oven.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar and softened butter until the mixture looks light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, then mix again until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda to evenly distribute the leavening.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix just until a soft cookie dough forms—don’t overmix.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball generously in sanding sugar, then place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 7 minutes. The cookies should look set but still pale and soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press one Hershey Kiss into the center of each cookie. The edges may crack slightly—totally normal and very cute.
Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet so the chocolate can firm up before serving.

Can I use unsalted butter instead?Yes! Just add a small pinch of salt to balance the sweetness. Do the cookies spread a lot?
Nope. They hold their shape nicely and stay thick and soft. Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4–5 days. What other chocolates work?
Birthday Cake Kisses, white chocolate kisses, or even mini peanut butter cups are all great swaps.
