Chocolate Peppermint Blossoms

by admin
Chocolate Peppermint Blossoms

I love making Christmas cookies, it is like…my thing. When the holiday season rolls around, I am always in my kitchen baking. One thing I really love is easy baking. I mean, don’t get me wrong, there are times when I want to bake totally from scratch, but since I make so many cookies I often use Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix

For these cookies I start out with the basic sugar cookie package and I add all the directed ingredients. Then I add an additional 1/2 cup of cocoa powder. The better the quality the more chocolatey the cookies end up tasting. Once mixed, I refrigerate the cookie dough. Then I roll them 2x in granulated sugar and bake them at 350 for 10-12 min. These cookies turn out soft and super chocolatey. Finally as the cookies are still piping hot and fresh out of the oven I firmly press Peppermint Hersheys Kiss right on top of each of the cookies. The result is totally festive and beautiful but more importantly they are absolutely delicious. Easy peasy. Give them a try today. They will look super fancy with minimum effort.

Chocolate Pepermint Blossom Cookies

Festive cookies use a mix and some simple add ins to become a delicious show stopper.

Mixing the Cookie Dough

  • Add butter and eggs to mixer, and mix until well combined.

  • Add Milk 1 tbsp. at a time mixing about 10 seconds each time you add the milk.
  • Turn up the speed to medium high for another 20 seconds until the batter is well combined. The dough should be pulled away from the sides and in one big rough mass.
  • From here you can *** Refrigerate 30 minutes or up to 3 days.

Baking Instructions

  • ***Or you can bake these right after mixing.
  • Scoop out aproximately 1 tbs sized cookie and roll them into a ball with your hands.
  • Roll them into the sugar, and once they are coated do it a second time.
  • Place them on a baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until you see the cookie start to rise and crack.
  • As the cookies bake unwrap the Peppermint Hersheys kisses and have them ready to press into the cookies.
  • Take the cookies our of the oven, and press a hershey's peppermint kiss firmly into the middle of each cookie.
