Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt, 2 teaspoons of ground ginger, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg.
- In a stand mixer, beat ¾ cup of room-temperature unsalted butter and 1 cup of dark brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Add ½ cup of molasses, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the creamed butter mixture, mixing on low speed until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until incorporated.
- Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator, scoop out about 1.5-inch portions, and roll each piece into a ball, then roll in granulated sugar.
- Bake the cookies for about 8 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops crinkle.
- Immediately press an unwrapped Hershey's Kiss into the center of each warm cookie.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes
For the best flavor, use room temperature ingredients and monitor the baking time closely to maintain chewiness.
