PEPPERMINT CANDY CANE KISS COOKIES

I made this for my family and they all love it! The most important thing is to stick the cookies in the freezer right after putting the kisses on so that they don't melt into a puddle of chocolate. I learned the hard way! Sprinkle the dough before baking with crushed candy, if you like.

CANDY CANE KISS COOKIES

Categories     Cookies     Dessert     Bake     Christmas     Kid-Friendly

Yield 50 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 c. butter-flavored shortening
1/2 c. real butter
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
optional: 1 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 c. flour, lightly spooned into measuring cups and leveled with a knife
1/4 c. + 2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 c. dark chocolate chips
48 Hershey's Candy Cane Kisses, unwrapped

Steps:

  • Cream together softened butter, shortening, brown sugar, and white sugar for 1-2 minutes on medium-high speed or until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla. Meanwhile, combine the baking powder, baking soda, salt, flour, and cocoa powder. Add to the butter/sugar mixture and mix until combined. Mix in the chocolate chips. Drop the dough by the tablespoonful onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the centers are set but still soft. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes. Top each cookie with an unwrapped Candy Cane Kiss. Allow to cool completely, long enough for the Kiss to harden. If necessary, after the cookies have cooled, they can be placed in the refrigerator or freezer to re-solidify the Kiss.

Tips:

  • Use softened butter for a creamier cookie.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
  • Use a cookie scoop to ensure uniform cookie size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before decorating.
  • For a festive touch, sprinkle the cookies with crushed candy cane pieces before baking.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
