We wanted something sweet to eat but don't normally keep sweets in the house so I looked up some cookie recipes online...then I remember all the Christmas candy I hid/put away in the pantry and decided to put some of it to use as well.
I borrowed a recipe for chocolate chip cookies off pinterest and adapted it to what we had in our kitchen! Here's what I used...
1 c butter, softened
1 1/2 c white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 c all purpose flour
2/3 c cocoa
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
mint truffle hershey's kisses
Blend all ingredients to make a dough. It turns into a pretty solid dough so you may need to wash up and use your hands to knead it in order to finish mixing properly.
Once the dough is finished roll into balls approximately one inch wide and flatted on to the cookie tray. (It will make several batches, so don't try to put them all on one tray.)
Unwrap those mint truffle hershey's kisses that you got in your Christmas stocking (or the ones you bought from the store...they are all on major clearance right now!) and place two kisses in the middle of each flattened ball of dough.
Once all the kisses are laid out pick up each cookie, one at a time, and wrap the dough around the rest of the kisses so they are completely enclosed in the dough.
Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.
Enjoy!
I posted a picture of mine below.
Shaun also made his own "special" recipe because he doesn't like mint and he used every candy he got in his stocking (reeses pieces, m&ms, dark chocolate kisses, and twizzlers) and then added sprinkles. I would NOT recommend this recipe! lol Unless of course you have children and want to let them decorate their own cookies. This is a great recipe to do that very thing!
What yummy cookie recipes do you have to share??
