Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup softened butter
• 1 tablespoon peppermint extract
• 48 white chocolate kisses with candy cane stripes
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 4.5 cups all-purpose flour

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheets.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 9 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and press a white chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie. Immediately place the baking sheets in the freezer so the candy does not melt. Remove after 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough.
