There is something magical about mistletoe.
Have you ever been kissed under mistletoe?
I created a fun cookie using Chocolate Mint Kiss chocolates to make a holiday cookie.
When you bite into the chocolate Kiss, there is some green peppermint color & flavor.
It’s a fun cookie to make. Get your kids to help you measure, mix, roll balls and then poke the candy in once cookies come out of the oven.
Of course, everyone will want some Kisses to eat while waiting for the cookies to bake.
It makes a tough dough to roll, so let your kids get their clean hands to help you mix.
Here is what you need
Preheat 350 F
- 2 3/4 Cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt

5. Add in the vanilla. Mix well.
6. Slowly add 1/2 cup of flour mixture and mix each time.
7. If dough gets tough, you can use your clean hands.
8. Roll dough into balls. Roll into sugar.
9. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
10. Poke a KISS candy into each cookie just to make a dent before baking.
11. Bake for 11 minutes.
Take out of oven. Place unwrapped chocolate mint KISS into middle of cookies.
Enjoy!
