Never have too many Kisses

It is never have too many Kisses. Every year on December, there is always one favorite cookie that I love the most. I love the Kisses from Hershey's. This specific cookie that I love the most. It was the Peanut Butter Kiss or you can called it Peanut Blossom, or many other name that you call it. This time, I make three different kind of Kiss cookie. All of those three cookies are called Candy Cane Kiss, Cherry Cordial Creme Kiss, and Peanut Butter Kiss.

The first one I make is Candy Cane Kiss. You can buy Candy Cane Kiss at the store, it might be only happen during Christmas month.

Kisses Candy Cane Blossoms

48 Kisses Candy Cane (the number did not matter, it is up to you)
1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cup flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 TBS milk
Red and green sugar, crystal, sugar, or powered sugar ( I just use regular sugar and I add the food color to mix it up for red and green individual, it work great)

1. Heat Oven to 350 F. Remove wrappers from candies ( I remove it later)
2. Beat butter, sugar, egg, vanilla in large bowl, beating until well-blended. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt: add alternately with milk to butter mixture, beating until well blended.
3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in red sugar or green sugar, or any other sugars. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly brown and cookie is set. Remove from oven, cool for 2 to 3 minutes. Press candy cane kiss to the center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. About 4 dozen.

Another Kiss of cookie, this time I made tradition Peanut Blossom which I call them Peanut Kiss. It was just very simple cookie and easy. This is one of my favorite kind. Here is the recipe for it. 

Peanut Blossoms

48 Kisses (again, number don't matter)
1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
3/4 cup peanut butter (any kind if fine)
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 TBS milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
Sugar

1. Heat oven at 375 F. Remove the wrappers (Again, I do it later for the wrappers)
2. Beat butter and peanut butter in large bowl until well-blended. Add 1/3 cup of sugar and brown sugar, beat until fluffy. Add egg, milk, and vanilla; beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually beat into peanut butter mixture. 
3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in sugar, placed on ungreased cookie sheet. 
4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or lightly browned. Immediately, press a chocolate into center of each cookie; Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack and let it cool. 


At last, the one last Kiss that formed into Cherry Cordial Creme cookie. This is the most complex thing. I did make it and it kind of fail. So it was little tough to do it. I learned from my mistake is to cook little longer and plus greased your cookie sheet. It was just complete different kind and it was my first time to do it. Here is the recipe.

Cherry Cordial Creme Cookies

60 Kisses Cherry Cordial Creme
1 package ( 1 lbs 6.5 oz) original supreme brownie mix with syrup pouch
1/4 cup Hershey's cocoa (any cocoa will be fine)
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
Powdered sugar

1. Remove wrappers from chocolates. Place in freezer for several hours or overnight. (the reason to put chocolate in the freezer because of the inside of the Kisses)
2. Heat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour cookie sheet. 
3. Stir the brownie mix, syrup pouch, cocoa, water, oil, and eggs in medium bowl until well-blended. Take spoon onto the cookie sheet. 
4. Bake for 8 minutes or until the cookie is set. Cool for few minutes; sprinkled with powdered sugar. Immediately press frozen chocolate into center on each cookie. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. About 5 dozen. 


Now come to last, I have finished make those cookies, except the last one Cherry Cordial Creme cookie, I did not take picture because it was kind of fail. So this is other picture that I found on Bing to show you what it really look like. I hope you have very good Christmas. Spend time with family and friends. Enjoy it!
