These chocolate holiday cookies, topped with candy cane kisses, are amazingly addicting just like the peanut butter favorites--but with a minty twist.
Ingredients
•
1 cup butter, softened
•
3/4 cup white sugar
•
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
•
1 teaspoon baking soda
•
2 eggs
•
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

48 white chocolate kisses with candy cane stripes
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Add sugar, brown sugar, and baking soda; beat until well mixed. Mix in eggs, melted chocolate, and vanilla extract. Gradually beat in flour and cocoa powder until well combined.
3
Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until edges begin to firm up, about 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and add 1 white chocolate kiss to the center of each cookie, pressing down just slightly. Return to the oven and bake for approximately 1 minute. Cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
