Candy Cane Kiss Sugar Cookies with a twist
Candy Cane Kiss Sugar Cookies are a soft peppermint flavored sugar cookie that are topped with a Hershey’s Candy Cane Kiss.
They are a spin off of the popular Blossom Cookies.
You have to love peppermint in order to enjoy the cookies.
But they come with a Surprise or two hidden in the batter.
You can taste a bit of peppermint even before you add the Kiss. And the cooked cookie remains soft.
The are the INGREDIENTS you will need:
- 3/4 cup butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoon eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 3.4 ounce package white chocolate instant pudding
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 24 pieces Candy Cane Hershey’s Kisses Chocolates, unwrapped.
These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs and mix until completely combined. Add in the peppermint extract.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt. Add into the creamed mixture and mix until combined.
- Form the dough into tablespoon sized balls. Place on a baking sheet, at least 3 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- On semi-firm cookies place a kiss on top and gently push until the dough starts to hug it.
- Place cooled cookies on plater or serving dish and serve.
There are many different ways you can dress up a sugar cookie.
And there are many different batters available to add a Hershey Kiss on or in the batter.
A alternate cookie batter for these Candy Cane Kisses can be peanut butter, chocolate, vanilla, spice, oatmeal or a red velvet cake mix just to name a few.
I added a bit of peppermint extract to the cookie to surprise the type that pulls of the kiss before eating.
You will also see that I used a pudding mix in the batter.
This enabled the cookie to stay lighter and a bit fluffier.
The pudding allows the cookie to keep hold of the kiss.
Don’t you just get aggravated when the kiss falls of the cookie as you are packing them up to go to a party?
These cookies were a hit at my office party.
They stay fresher longer when the pudding is added and that is also a win win.
Don’t give away our secret when you take your own batch to a gathering!
