Peppermint Kiss Cookies

December 22, 2016 By Betsy Cohen

Peppermint Kiss Cookies have very quickly become my latest addiction. Take advantage of the candies while they are in stores for the holiday season.

Peppermint Kiss Cookies


Tired of peppermint yet?  I’m not either.  I just can’t get enough of that cool refreshing taste and Peppermint Kiss Cookies have very quickly become my latest addiction.

I tinkered with the Chocolate Chip Brownie Cookies just a tad and then topped them with gorgeous red and white peppermint kisses.

I learned a really good lesson about peppermint kisses.  They do not melt evenly.  The kisses are put on top of the cookies as soon as they come out of the oven.  Once the cookies cooled, I tried one. Ok, I really tried three but who’s counting?

The kisses were firm on the outside but the inside was completely melted.  On the one hand, I couldn’t get enough of the heavenly ooey-gooeyness when I bit into the peppermint kiss.  Yet, I also wanted the kiss to hold it’s shape when I took a bite.

I put the pans into the refrigerator for a bit to see what would happen.  It takes a longer time period for the kisses to firm up than it does for the cookies to get cold.

After eating half a batch (almost!) I can say, unequivocally, that you can’t go wrong either way.  The center when it is overflowing with hot melty yumminess is outrageous but so are the cool cookies with the solid kisses.

About Betsy

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over.
