Ingredients:
1 package of sugar cookies (store-bought or homemade)
20-30 Hershey's Kisses (milk chocolate or dark chocolate)
1/4 cup of crushed candy canes (for a minty twist)
1/4 cup of melted butter (if using store-bought cookies)
Optional: Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
Prepare the Base: If you're using store-bought sugar cookies, slightly flatten them with your hands to create a uniform base. If you're making homemade cookies, bake them according to the recipe, ensuring they are cooled completely.
Melt the Kisses: Unwrap the Hershey's Kisses and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and melted. You can also use a double boiler if preferred.
Assemble the Dessert: Spoon a small amount of the melted chocolate onto each cookie, spreading it evenly with the back of the spoon.
Add the Peppermint Twist: Sprinkle a pinch of crushed candy canes over the chocolate-covered cookies to give them a festive, minty flavor.
Garnish with Kisses: Place a whole Hershey’s Kiss on top of each chocolate-covered cookie for an extra burst of sweetness.
Chill: Refrigerate the cookies for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set before serving.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: Arrange the cookies on a festive plate or platter for a beautiful holiday display. Serve them with hot cocoa, coffee, or a glass of milk for the ultimate Christmas treat experience.
Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, refrigerate the cookies and enjoy within a week. The chocolate will stay fresh and delicious!
