CANDY CANE BLOSSOM COOKIES
These festive classic Candy Cane Blossom Cookies are not just gorgeous they are delicious, too. Perfect as a gift for teachers, family, and friends. I gave this as a gift in a mug and it was well-loved!
Ingredients
- 48 or more Hershey’s Kisses Candy Cane Mint Candies
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp Baking Soda
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ½ cup 1/2 cup unsalted Butter, softened (room temp)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Eggnog or half and half or regular milk
- Red and Green Sugar crystals
Instructions
- Stir together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- Beat the butter, sugar, egg and vanilla in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer until well blended.
- Add the flour mixture alternately with the eggnog to the butter mixture, beating until everything is well combined.
- If the mixture is quite sticky refrigerate for 30 minutes. That will make it easier to handle.
- Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in red and green sugar or a combo of the two. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until edges are slightly browned and the cookies are set. Remove from the oven and cool for 2-3 minutes on the cookie sheet. Press a candy piece into the center of each cookie. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes at least 48 cookies (perhaps a few more).
