Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
1 1/2 cups unbleached all purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then add the vanilla and egg, and blend for 1-2 minutes. Slowly begin mixing in the dry ingredients about 1/2 cup at a time.
1 cup unsalted butter,, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup chocolate almond butter*
Cover and chill the dough for 15-30 minutes.
Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, form balls and roll in cinnamon sugar until covered. Evenly place the cookie dough balls on a cookie sheet (mine held 8), and bake for 10 minutes.
1/4 cup cinnamon sugar, 24 chocolate kisses
Let them cool and gently press the chocolate kisses into the center of the warm cookie.
Notes
Recipe information is approximate
If you want the chocolate kiss to melt a little, press them gently into the cookie immediately after removing them from the oven.
If you can't find chocolate almond butter, you can use peanut butter or regular almond butter - as long as it's smooth and not crunchy.
