today i baked 6 dozen cookies for a cookie exchange at work. i saw this recipe on the hershey website and loved how festive the cookies looked. here's the ingredients and the recipe:
48 HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Candy Cane Mint Candies
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons milk Red or green sugar crystals, granulated sugar or powdered sugar
1 Heat oven to 350°F. Remove wrappers from candies.
2 Beat butter, granulated sugar, egg and vanilla in large bowl until well blended. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; add alternately with milk to butter mixture, beating until well blended.
3 Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in red sugar, granulated sugar, powdered sugar or a combination of any of the sugars. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
4 Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and cookie is set. Remove from oven; cool 2 to 3 minutes. Press a candy piece into center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. About 4 dozen cookies.
the cookies turned out super cute and they were incredibly easy to make. i doubled the recipe and wound up with about 75 cookies (minus the few i ate...oops!). my whole house smells like peppermint and the cookies look and taste great. Stay tuned for more holiday recipes!
those look like they turned out delicious!! Jealous I had to leave before the creation!!
