These Candy Cane Kiss Cookies are soft peppermint sugar cookies rolled in festive sprinkles and topped with a striped Hershey’s Candy Cane Kiss. They are perfect for holiday cookie swaps and platters.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 1/2 tsp Peppermint Extract
  • 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • Red & Green Sugar Sprinkles (for rolling)
  • 30–40 Hershey’s Candy Cane Kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the egg and peppermint extract until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until the flour disappears. Do not over-mix.
  6. Roll about a tablespoon of dough into a 1-inch ball. Roll each ball in red or green sugar sprinkles, coating completely.
  7. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and set. The centers should still look soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes.
  10. Gently press a Candy Cane Kiss into the center of each warm cookie.
  11. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet or a wire rack before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is softened but not melted for best results.
  • Do not over-mix the dough after adding flour to prevent tough cookies.
  • Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes before adding the Hershey’s Kiss to prevent melting.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • Dough can be prepared, rolled, and frozen for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to baking time.
