Candy Cane Blossoms are the most festive holiday cookie and made with only 3 ingredient! Refrigerated sugar cookie dough rolled in red and green sprinkles and topped with a Candy Candy Hershey’s Kiss.

I’ve been told that Santa loves cookies with lots of sprinkles! He’d probably love Christmas Confetti Cookies, Sprinkled Shortbread, and Italian Sugar Cookies.

How cute are these?!

I love all forms of blossom cookies. The peanut butter with the milk chocolate Kisses get made all year long in my house.

These Candy Cane Blossoms are the most festive of all the blossoms because the dough is rolled in red and green sprinkles before baking and then gets topped with candy cane Kisses!

And the best party is that they are made with only 3 ingredients! I use a refrigerated sugar cookie dough in there to make things so simple.

They’re cute, they’re delicious, and they’re great when little helpers want to help make cookies for Santa because they can unwrap the candies and then put them in top of the baked cookies.

Ingredients for Candy Cane Blossoms

Hershey’s Candy Cane Kisses – they’ve also started making a sugar cookie Kiss that would be very cute in these. If you can’t find them, you can get the candy cane Kisses or sugar cookie Kisses online.
Refrigerated sugar cookie dough – use your favorite brand or you could even use a homemade recipe if you prefer.
Red and green sprinkles – the sanding sugar type of sprinkles work best for this cookie. They’re usually easy to find in the baking aisle or holiday aisle of your store but if you can’t, you can order green sanding sugar and red sanding sugar online.

Instructions

Unwrap. Unwrap the Hershey’s kisses.
Prepare. Preheat oven according to package instructions.
Roll. Roll each portion of sugar cookie dough in sprinkles.
Bake. Bake according to package instructions.
Top. Top with a Hershey’s candy cane Kiss.
Cool. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.

How Long Are They Good For?

These Candy Cane Blossoms will be good at room temperature for up to 5 days. Make sure to store them in an airtight container.

Can You Freeze Them?

You can freeze these cookies for up to 3 months. Let them cool completely and then I would wrap them tightly (without squishing the candies) in plastic wrap.

From there, put them in freezer ziploc bags and place in the freezer, being careful not to squish the candies.

Tips and Tricks

The easiest way to coat the cookie dough in sprinkles is to put about ¼ cup of each sprinkle color on a plate with a bit of a lip (or even a pie plate). And just roll the dough through them.
