From . I love Hershey's special edition kisses. This year's white chocolate kiss with a red striped peppermint shell makes some of the most festive cookies on my cookie trays. I used green decorator's sugar which contrast nicely with the red and white kiss. Next time I might try peppermint extract instead of vanilla and use crushed candy canes in place of the green sugar crystals. Be very careful moving the cookies after the kiss is in; the kisses will collapse.
Ingredients:
48 hershey candy cane kisses
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
