Candy Cane Kiss Cookies
My 2020 Cookie Week continues with recipe #4 – Candy Cane Kiss Cookies!
You can’t have Christmas baking without some sort of peppermint flavor. If you are a fan of mint, you’ll love these! Jared, who isn’t the biggest peppermint fan even said these were pretty darn good, so I guess that counts for something.
Every year I have Peanut Butter Blossoms on my Christmas baking list and these are a more festive version of those. I took a sugar cookie base (instead of peanut butter cookie) and swapped traditional Hersey’s Kisses with their Candy Cane Kisses.
They are perfect for Christmas cookie trays and gifting cookie plates to friends and neighbors!
Let’s dive in..
