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.

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 fresh candy canes. Fresh candy canes will give your cookies the best flavor and texture. Avoid using old or stale candy canes that may have lost their flavor or become hard and brittle.
  • Crush the candy canes finely. Crushed candy canes will distribute their flavor evenly throughout the cookies. You can use a food processor, blender, or rolling pin to crush the candy canes.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The cookies should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown.
  • Let the cookies cool before serving. The cookies will be very hot when they come out of the oven. Let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Candy cane kiss cookies are a festive and delicious holiday treat. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their bright red and white colors and minty flavor, these cookies are sure to put you in the holiday spirit. So next time you're looking for a fun and easy holiday cookie recipe, give candy cane kiss cookies a try.
