Candy Cane Blossoms

Forget rolling out the sugar cookie dough to the perfect thickness,
cutting out the dough with cookie cutters,
and frosting them.

These are SOOOOO much easier
and cuter,
and yummier!

They're my new favorite Christmas cookie/treat!

Recipe from HERSHEY'S

What You Need
1 bag Hershey's Peppermint Kisses
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp milk
Red and Green sugar

What To Do
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, remove wrappers from kisses
2. Beat butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla in large bowl until well blended
3. In separate bowl stir together flour, baking soda, and salt
4. Add flour mix alternately with milk to butter mixture, beating until well blended
5. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in red or green sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheet
6. Bake 8-10 min. or until edges are lightly browned and cookie is set
7. Remove from oven; cool 2-3 min. then press kiss into center of each cookie
8. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.  Cool completely.

{ENJOY!!!}
