Peppermint Kiss Sugar Cookies

What you need:

• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 1/2 sticks (1 1/4 cups) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 tsp. peppermint extract
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup finely chopped candy cane Hershey kisses
• Granulated sugar, for rolling dough in
• 30 unwrapped candy cane Hershey kisses

Directions:

1. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a stand mixer, combine powdered sugar, butter, extracts, and egg. Beat until creamy.
3. Add flour mixture slowly and mix until blended (it will be crumbly). Then stir in chopped kisses.
4. Place some granulated sugar in a small bowl.
5. Shape into 3/4-inch sized balls and roll each in sugar.
6. Bake in a preheated-350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
7. Once out of the oven, press a kiss in the center and then immediately place in fridge so the kisses keep their shape. If you don't mind if they melt (the melted kiss creaminess is fabulous too!), then just place the kiss on the cookies fresh out of the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
