'Tis the season for Christmas cookies!! I don't know about you, but I'm using every excuse I can think of this season to make holiday treats. This recipe for Peppermint Kiss Cookies is a variation on Hershey's Candy Cane Blossoms ... but with crushed candy canes and a bit of peppermint extract for extra flavor and a slight crunch! Yum!

    If I made these, I'm sure I would end up eating them all. I love all things peppermint and love this time of year for that very reason.

    My mom makes something very similar to this, but with regular kisses, I love the addition of peppermint!

    I made these tonight. The cookies came out SUPER dry. They didn't even flatten out at all, just stayed in the ball shape, then broke when I pressed the kiss into them. I followed the recipe to a 't'. Not sure why they turned out like this 🙁
