Zubereitung von Chocolate Mint Surprise Christmas Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium ziploc bag, crush 1 cup of candy canes into small pieces.
- Cut 12 ounces of Hershey Kisses in half.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 teaspoons of almond extract and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Gradually add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Stir in the crushed candy canes and 1 cup of mini chocolate chips.
- Scoop out 1 teaspoon of dough and press one Hershey Kiss half into the center.
- Roll the dough into a ball, enclosing the kiss completely. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies cool, prepare the chocolate drizzle: In a medium saucepan, melt 12 ounces of white chocolate chips with 6 tablespoons of shortening over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.
- Divide the melted chocolate into three bowls.
- Tint one bowl with a few drops of green food coloring and another with a few drops of red food coloring. Leave one bowl white.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the colored chocolate over the cookies using a fork.
- Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving. Enjoy!
