Hi Guys!
It is sooo sunny outside and WARM. Yep. Only -4 C, as opposed to -26 C we had last week π We will still have white Christmas though, phew! π
Spent my morning baking my youngest's birthday cake. It's cooling now and filling is also firming up. Gonna have to tort and set up, so tomorrow morning I just have to slap some nuts and chocolates and that's it π
But for now, recipe share!
Here is the last Cookie Recipe for this year's Christmas baking, as promised π Today am sharing you Peppermint Kisses π You don't like peppermint? No worries! Substitute the flavoring to vanilla, lemon, butter, milk, mocha, chocolate, anything you like, and your cookies will turn up yummy, I promise π The recipe is so versatile, even without flavoring and/or topping or add-ons, you would still come up with great cookies π
1 bag Hershey's kisses
1 c unsalted butter
3/4 c icing sugar
1/2 tsp peppermint extract (more for stronger, if you like!)
2 c strong baker's flour
Unwrap kisses, place in a bowl, and preheat oven to 350 F
Cream butter and icing sugar for 5 mins, until pale, then beat in peppermint extract
Mix in flour, until completely combined
Scoop per tablespoon and place on ungreased nonstick sheet, bake for 8-10 mins
As soon as out of the oven, press kisses
Move cookies to rack and let cookies cool completely and chocolate set/no longer soft, then store
Enjoy!
