Ingredients

1/4 cup butter softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all purpose unbleached flour
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
24 Hershey's Kisses any flavor

for orange sugar-

1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons orange zest

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400° F.
In large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, cream butter and sugar together until smooth.
Whip in egg and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, 2 minutes.
Slowly stir in remaining ingredients until combined. Set aside.
On a small plate, combine sugar and orange zest.
Using a cookie scoop, drop cookie dough into orange sugar and roll around lightly to coat.
Place on un-greased cookie sheet and bake 8-10 minutes or until bottoms are just barely starting to brown.
While cookies are baking, unwrap Hersheys Kisses.
Remove baking sheet from oven and carefully press a Hershey's Kiss into center of each warm cookie.
Cool for 5 minutes on the hot baking sheet and then remove to cooling racks.

Notes

*You could also add in some pumpkin pie spice too! Yum! I didn't, but feel free to switch it up! I don't know if this will make the sugar look less orange and more brown or vice versa. Experiment and let me know :)
