Candy Cane Kisses Cookies

Steps

1. 1

   Start by placing the butter in a large mixer and creaming it then adding in the sugar. Continue beating then add in the egg and vanilla.

2. 2

   Next add in the flour, baking soda, salt, and fold in the chocolate chips. Continue blending until dough is formed.

3. 3

   At this point, I chill the dough for 20-30 minutes in the fridge.

4. 4

   Using a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, roll pieces of dough into teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart. In each ball add a thumb print, which is where the kiss will go after baking.

5. 5

   Bake these at 375* for 10 minutes or until just about fully set. Let them cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack and then place a kiss in the middle of each cookie. You can let them cool just a little bit longer to avoid melting; however, I happened to like a few of them melted nice and gooey!
