Instructions

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and mix well. Stir in the strawberry gelatin powder.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
Roll tablespoon-sized portions of dough into balls and chill for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange chilled dough balls on a baking sheet and bake for 11-13 minutes.
After removing from oven, gently press a chocolate kiss into each cookie while still warm. Allow cooling completely on a wire rack.
