Cookies ‘n’ Creme Kiss Cookies
‘Tis the season for a new festive cookie recipe! Cookies ‘n’ Creme Kiss Cookies are rich and perfect for the holidays. A variation on the classic Peanut Butter Blossoms, this cookie has a delicious chocolate cookie bottom and is topped with a Cookies ‘n’ Creme Candy Kiss. So decadent, you’ll be licking your lips!
The base of this cookie is made easier by using a box of Betty Crocker Super Moist Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix. That’s right, I said cake mix. Easy and delicious! Add a few simple ingredients and mix the dough by hand and you’ve got the majority of the work done. So simple! There are different sizes of cake mixes, so be sure to use the 15.25 ounce size box for this recipe.
What type of candy Kiss to use on these cookies?
Each year during the holidays, Hershey makes Cookies ‘n’ Creme Candy Kisses. You can find them at most grocery stores. They are white chocolate kisses with tiny bits of crushed cookies throughout. They are so creamy and crunchy. We eat them right out of the bag.
They also make the best topper for a rich chocolate cookie. While the cookies are warm, simply unwrap each candy Kiss and press one gently onto the center of each cookie. Perfect for the chocolate-lovers in your family!
