Candy Cane Kiss Cookies
from Hersheys
48 Hershey's Candy Cane Kisses, unwrapped (we only needed 36, made our cookies just a bit bigger)
1/2 (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
1 c granualted sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 t vanilla extract
2 c all-purpose flour
1/4 t baking soda
1/4 t salt
2 T milk
red or green sugar crystals, we used Christmas sprinkles too
1. Heat oven to 350.
2. Beat butter, sugar, egg and vanilla in large bowl until well blended. Stir together flour, baking soda, salt; add alternately with milk to butter mixture, beating until well blended.
3. Shape dough into 1" balls (I had to chill my dough for about 20 minutes to keep it from being sticky and my dough balls were about 1 1/2 inches). Roll in sugar or sprinkles.
4. Bake 8 - 10 minutes (my larger cookies took 10 - 12 minutes) or until edges are lightly browned and cookie is set. Remove from oven; cool 2 - 3 minutes. Press a candy kiss into center of each cookie. Remove cookie from sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
Makes about 4 dozen ( I got 3 dozen).

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for featuring me!
These are great! I love those Kisses. Our elf, France, doesn't bring anything...but now I think he might have too! (And then he can "eat" it too...)
ReplyDeleteThey look sensational! I am not sure we can get those chocolates here..I need to investigate asap!
