My entire family enjoys the food I provided for them. The cookies must be placed in the freezer as soon as the kisses are applied in order to prevent them from melting into a pool of chocolate, which is the most crucial step. I had to learn the hard way. Before baking, you could add some crushed candies to the dough.

Ingredients
- 1 cup softened butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon peppermint extract
- 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 48 white chocolate kisses with candy cane stripes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Combine butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 9 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and press a white chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie. Immediately place the baking sheets in the freezer so the candy does not melt. Remove after 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough.

I added more peppermint .. it needed oil to help bind it .. I just eye balled it.. I rolled in balls in sprinkles then put a chocolate kiss in middle and cook it with kiss. Then when cool .. I did a powder sugar glaze with green food color and peppermint. And I added peppermint pieces crushed … I call Grinch cookies. They taste great.
