These blossoms are the perfect holiday cookie, especially when they’re topped with a candy cane Hershey’s Kiss!
I am so happy to take part in the 2nd Annual Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. I had such a blast participating in it last year with my Pumpkin Snickerdoodles so I couldn’t wait to participate in this year’s swap as well.
The basic idea of this cookie swap is to send out 1 dozen cookies to 3 food bloggers that you’ve been matched up with, and then you get to receive 3 different types of cookies from 3 different people that have been assigned to you. But the best part about this year’s swap is that both Lindsay and Julie organized all this to partner up with OXO, a huge supporter for Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. So with a cookie swap registration fee of $4.00, every dollar goes directly to this charity. How awesome is that?
So with this year’s swap, I tried to go really festive with HERSHEY’S KISSES Candy Cane Flavored Candies in a pepperminty-mocha cookie base. It was my first time attempting a blossom-type cookie and it was so much more easier to make than I had thought, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that the candy cane kisses melted in your mouth with every bite, complementing the cookie base so perfectly.
It’s a cookie that is sure to get you in the spirit of Christmas!
