Tips & Variations
- Chill the dough: If your dough feels too soft to roll, chill it for 15–20 minutes to make it easier to handle and reduce spreading in the oven.
- Extra peppermint: Add crushed peppermint candies or candy canes to the dough for added crunch and minty flavor.
- Use different kisses: Swap in dark chocolate or white chocolate kisses for a unique twist on the original.
- Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. You can also freeze baked cookies (without the kisses) and add the kisses after reheating.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve warm with hot cocoa or peppermint mocha for a festive treat.
- Box them up as holiday gifts or bake a double batch for cookie exchanges.
- Decorate with a light dusting of powdered sugar for a snowy, wintery finish.
