Servings: 32
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
- 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon milk dairy-free use your favorite non-dairy milk. I like cashew, coconut or almond milk.
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour I like Pillsbury Gluten Free
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum leave out if your flour has it already
- 3/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- gluten-free sprinkles
- Hershey Kisses I used candy cane-which is very minty, so if you are not a candy cane fan please use your favorite gluten-free flavor. For dairy-free use your favorite dairy-free chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine shortening, granulated sugar and brown sugar in large bowl; beat at medium speed until well blended. Add milk. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla.
- Combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt in a separate large bowl. Mix into shortening mixture until well blended.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. (I used a cookie scoop.)
- Roll cookie dough ball in the sprinkles and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes. (Please watch your cookies because every oven is different.)
- As soon as you bring the cookies out of the oven place the Hersey Kisses in the center of each cookie.
- Allow to cool completely or the Hersey Kisses will flatten.
- Store in an airtight container.
- Enjoy!

Notes
- I like Pillsbury gluten-free flour. Not all gluten-free flours are created equal. You may experience different baking results depending on the gluten-free flour blend you choose.
- Hershey Kisses are not dairy-free, so you could use your favorite dairy-free chocolate. My family likes Enjoy Life Foods Mini Chips and Chunks.
- Store in an air-tight container.
- Mama says, "Check all of your labels!"
