Ingredients For Making Peppermint Surprise Cookies
1-3/4 cup
butter
3/4 cup
sugar
1
egg
1 tsp.
vanilla
2 tsp.
peppermint extract
4-2/3 cups
flour
Hershey Kisses
(about 60)
4-ounces
white chocolate
Crushed peppermint candies
(crushed in blender)
Directions:
In
a large bowl, combine butter and sugar and mix until well combined.
Add egg, vanilla, and peppermint extract until beaten. Add the flour
one cup at a time, mixing until all of the flour is well incorporated.
The dough will be thick.
Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate
for 1 hour.
Shape dough into about 1-inch balls, flatten, then place an
unwrapped Hershey Kiss into the middle of each and wrap the dough
around until the Kiss is fully encased in dough.
Place on an ungreased
cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees or until the
bottoms are barely brown. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
In a
microwaveable bowl (make sure the bowl is perfectly clean and dry first
or the chocolate will not melt properly), melt the white chocolate by
placing in the microwave for two minutes and stopping to stir every
thirty seconds. Dip the top of each cookie into the melted white
chocolate, then sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies.
Allow
chocolate/peppermint topping to set before serving.
Makes about 5-6
dozen cookies.
