Cooking Steps

8. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look soft and slightly underbaked.
9. Add Candy Cane Kisses: Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a Candy Cane Kiss into the center of each cookie. Allow them to sit on the baking sheet for about 2-3 minutes to let the Kisses soften.
10. Cool the Cookies: Carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. The Kiss will firm up as the cookies cool down.

These truffle cookies are simple to make and offer a delightful crunch combined with a sweet, chocolatey center, perfect for enjoying during the holiday season or gifting to friends and family.

Cooking Steps

1. Prepare the Oreo Mixture: In a food processor, crush the entire package of Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

7. First Bake: Bake the logs in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are light golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.
8. Slice the Biscotti: Once the logs are slightly cooled, use a serrated knife to slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
9. Second Bake: Place the sliced biscotti cut side down on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crisp and golden.
10. Add Candy Cane Kisses: Once the biscotti are baked and slightly cooled, melt the Candy Cane Kisses in a microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Drizzle the melted kisses over the biscotti for an added festive touch.
11. Cool and Serve: Allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack. Store them in an airtight container and enjoy with a warm beverage!

Holiday Spritz Cookies With Candy Cane Kisses

Holiday Spritz Cookies are a classic festive treat, known for their buttery flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture. The addition of Candy Cane Kisses in these cookies adds a delightful surprise and a touch of holiday cheer, making them perfect for cookie trays or as a sweet gift during the Christmas season.

Cooking Steps

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of softened unsalted butter with 3/4 cup of granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Continue mixing until well combined.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Prepare Cookie Press: Transfer the dough into a cookie press (or a piping bag with a star tip) and press out your desired shapes onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
7. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
8. Add Candy Cane Kisses: Once the cookies are done baking, remove them from the oven. Immediately press a Candy Cane Kiss into the center of each cookie while they are still warm.
9. Cool the Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Garnish (Optional): Once cooled, you can sprinkle the cookies with crushed candy canes for an extra festive touch.
