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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, plump peppermints. This will ensure that your kisses are flavorful and have a good texture.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar mixture. If you do, the kisses will be hard and brittle. The sugar mixture should reach the soft-ball stage, which is 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar mixture by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the sugar forms a soft ball that holds its shape, it is ready.
  • Work quickly when dipping the peppermints in the sugar mixture. The sugar mixture will start to harden quickly, so you need to work quickly to get all of the peppermints coated.
  • Place the coated peppermints on a greased baking sheet. This will help to prevent the kisses from sticking together.
  • Let the kisses cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent the kisses from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Peppermint kisses are a classic holiday candy that is easy to make and always a hit with friends and family. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create these delicious treats that are perfect for gift-giving or enjoying yourself. So next time you're looking for a sweet and festive treat, give peppermint kisses a try!
