How to Make Candy Cane Blossoms

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove wrappers from Hershey's White Chocolate Peppermint Kisses.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with ½ cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Roll dough into 1-inch balls.
  7. Roll balls in a mixture of red and green decorator's sugar (or any combination of red, green, granulated, and powdered sugar).
  8. Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Remove from oven and immediately press one Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie. Work quickly, as the Kisses may melt.
  11. Let cool completely on the baking sheets before serving.
