Directions

1 In medium bowl, mix flour, baking cocoa, baking powder and salt; set aside.
2 In large bowl, beat granulated sugar, oil and eggs with whisk until well mixed. Beat in vanilla and peppermint extract.
3 Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients just until combined. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
4 Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper. Place powdered sugar in small bowl. Shape dough into tablespoon-size balls; roll in powdered sugar. Place on cookie sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart.
5 Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until cookies crackle and dough doesn’t look raw. When cookies are done, immediately place a KISSES candy in center of each cookie, and press lightly. Cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes. Remove to cooling rack; cool completely until candy is set.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

"It should be noted that I’m a Christmas cookie baking fanatic. I probably bake no fewer than 15 kinds of cookies every December. This cookie recipe was inspired by all of the fabulous KISSES mint-flavored candies that appear on grocery store shelves during the holidays. My husband is enamored with all things mint, so these were created especially for him." - Lori Lange

This cookie is amazing! I replaced the mint kisses with raspberry hugs for Valentine's day. I am making this again, that's for sure!

I opted to make this recipe vs the chocolate crinkles because this calls for the unsweetened cocoa, instead of melting the chocolate. This was so easy to make and so delicious! I wasn't sure my guests would like peppermint, so I left that out and just dotted them with red and green chocolates. They are so pretty! They are now added to my Christmas cookie list!

I'm hosting a cookie exchange for Christmas and made several different cookie recipes. I took the cookies to work and this particular cookie was a huge hit. I was told it was possibly the best cook they'd ever eaten, I would agree. It turned out beautiful, looked just like the picture, and tasted wonderful too. I highly recommend this recipe.
