Peppermint Kiss Cookies are soft and chewy with the perfect amount of peppermint goodness.

Ingredients
 

  • 17.5 ounce sugar cookie mix (just use the dry mix, do not follow the instructions on the package)
  • 1/2 cup salted butter (softened)
  • 7 tablespoons all purpose flour (this is 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons)

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 24 Hershey's Candy Cane Kisses (unwrapped )

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a large bowl using a hand or stand mixer, mix the sugar cookie mix, salted butter, flour, sour cream, egg, and peppermint extract together until fully combined.
  • Use a 1-inch cookie scoop (1 Tablespoon) to drop cookie dough balls on the prepared sheet pan, leaving 1 inch between each cookie.
  • Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
  • Quickly remove from the oven and press one peppermint kiss into the center of each cookie while the cookie is still warm.
  • Let cool for at least five minutes before plating and serving either warm or cold.
