Candy Cane Blossoms

Since Christmas is right around the corner I thought why not make cookies to give as gifts. I have been baking for two days trying to make different cookies and sweets for the guys that the hubby works with. I found the recipe for this first cookie on the back of a Hershey's Kisses bag.

Ingredients:

• 48 Hershey's Kisses, Candy cane flavor
• 1 Stick of Butter, Softened
• 1 Cup of sugar
• 1 Egg
• 1 1/2 Teaspoons of Vanilla Extract
• 2 Cups of Flour
• 1/4 Teaspoon of Baking soda
• 1/4 Teaspoon of Salt
• 2 Tablespoons of Milk
• Red Sugar Sprinkles

Preheat oven 350 degrees. Remove wrappers from kisses.

 Beat butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla in a large bowl until well blended.

In a medium bowl add flour, baking soda, and salt.

Add flour mixture to the wet ingredients alternating flour and milk. Mix until dough forms.

In a small bowl add red sugar sprinkles.

With a small ice cream scoop make a 1 inch ball. Roll the ball in the red sugar until well coated.

Place cookie on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and cookie is set. Remove cookies from oven and leave the cookies on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes. Then press a kiss in the center of the cookie. Place cookies on cooling rack to cool completely.

Enjoy!!

With Love,
