PEPPERMINT CANDY CANE KISS COOKIES



Peppermint Candy Cane Kiss Cookies image

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.

  • Be careful not to overmix the chocolate, or it will become too thick and grainy.
  • If you want to make the kisses ahead of time, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • To make the kisses even more festive, you can decorate them with sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or even edible glitter.
