Candy Cane Blossoms

December 8, 2010 in cookie

I’ve never been a fan of the “blossoms” cookies. You know, the peanut butter ones with the Hershey’s Kiss pressed into the center. My thoughts were always something like this: “Who wasted this perfectly good peanut butter cookie by placing a piece of chocolate on top?!” Call me OCD but I also don’t like that you can’t layer them nicely in a container. ‘Tis true.

I saw this recipe and well, I’m a sucker for sprinkles so of course I had to make them. Just look at them! Bright colored cookies with a Bama red and white Kiss on top! So stinkin’ cute! They turned out fantastic. The cookie is a little puffier than I expected but I’m not one to complain about a super-soft cookie.

If you’re scared of the Candy Cane Kisses, don’t be. I was expecting white chocolate with peppermint extract which just didn’t sound great to me but as it turns out, there are pieces of candy cane in it. So it’s more like a bark than anything. They are so yummy!
