Add butter and sugar to a mixing bowl and beat on high speed for 3-5 minutes until butter and sugar mixture is fluffy. Add cream cheese and beat well. Beat in egg and vanilla.

Add salt and flour and beat until combined well. Divide dough into 4 separate bowls.

Create a space to roll the dough. Cover the space generously with flour. You may also cover your hands with flour to help roll the dough.
Remove from refrigerator and grab a small chunk from each color of dough and roll them into 3-4" long "snakes." Stack colored snakes together and twist to blend snakes together. Curl open ends around to join each other and gently press together. Place onto prepared baking sheet, 2" apart.
Bake in a 375℉ oven for 10-12 minutes. When cookies are done baking, immediately place a Hershey kiss onto the center of each cookie, gently pressing it into the dough. Let cool completely.

Notes
Colors used are listed in the ingredients. Of course, feel free to play around with your favorite colors. If you have problems rolling the dough: It's important to let the butter and cream cheese firm up a bit before you try to roll the dough. You might need to use a more generously floured board/space to roll. Flour is a tricky thing - I often weigh mine. Use 5 ounces for 1 cup of flour to get the most accurate measurement. If you pack the flour into a measuring cup, it will hold about 1-2 ounces more. When you pull the dough out of the bowls that were in the fridge, make sure it's not sticky. If it's sticking to your hands, flour your hands and the surface before rolling.
