Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy.
Add the egg and extracts, mixing well before incorporating the strawberry gelatin.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually add to the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
Roll tablespoon-sized portions into balls and chill for at least an hour.
Place on a lined baking sheet and bake for 11-13 minutes until edges are set.
After cooling slightly, press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.
