Christmas Baking

So today I have been in a super Christmas baking mood. I am going to a Christmas party tomorrow, so that is one of the reasons. I made cookies and they are to die for! Here is the recipe! I got it here but made some of my own tweaks to it.

Peppermint Kiss Cookies:

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

6-8 candy canes crushed in a food processor or blender

1 1/4 cups butter (2 1/2 sticks)-I know it's a lot!

1 tsp. peppermint extract

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 large egg

3 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 Package Hershey's Candy Cane Kisses

Preheat over to 350*F

In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a mixing bowl (I used my Kitchen Aid) combine powdered sugar, butter, peppermint extract, vanilla extract, and egg. Beat at medium speed, scraping the sides of the bowl, until creamy. Add flour mixture, mixing until blended. The mixture will be crumbly. Add the candy cane pieces. Shape dough into balls and roll in granulated sugar. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool 3-5 minutes then press candy cane kisses in the center. (I had to press them then put the cookies directly in the fridge in order for the kiss to hold its shape better.) Enjoy!
