Peppermint Kiss Cookies are festive, buttery sugar cookies with a hint of peppermint flavor, topped with a Hershey’s Candy Cane Kiss. They’re a holiday favorite that’s as pretty as it is delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Red and green sanding sugar (optional, for rolling)
  • 24 Hershey’s Candy Cane Kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and, if desired, roll in red or green sanding sugar for a festive touch.
  6. Place on prepared baking sheets and bake for 8–10 minutes or until edges are just set.
  7. Remove from oven and let sit for 2 minutes. Then gently press a Candy Cane Kiss into the center of each cookie.
  8. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Chill dough for 15–30 minutes if too soft to handle.
  • Do not overbake—the cookies should be soft and chewy.
  • Freeze unbaked dough balls for up to 3 months and bake as needed.
  • Cool completely before storing in an airtight container to keep kisses from melting.
