Candy Cane Hershey Kisses Blossoms 

Here's a great festive cookie recipe just in time for your holiday baking. It is a spin on the traditional peanut butter blossoms. The recipe can be found on the back wrapper of Kisses candy cane. I made a few adaptations.
Makes 2 dozen cookies or more depends on how small or large you roll the dough balls
Ingredients:

• Hershey  Kisses Candy Cane Brand
• 1 stick of softened butter ( I used 1/4 cup margarine and 1/4 cup butter-recipe called for either)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 cups flour
• 1-1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1/4 tsp. baking soda
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 2 TB. milk
• red or green sugar crystals

Directions:

• Beat margarine/butter, sugar, egg and vanilla
• Stir flour, salt and baking soda in another bowl
• Blend flour mixture with egg/butter mixture and alternate with milk until blended
• Put dough in freezer for one hour or refrigerate a few hours till well chilled
• Preheat oven 375
• In a bowl pour out green or red crystals
• Shape dough into 1 inch balls (in photo mine were a bit larger)  
• Roll each ball in colored crystals 
• Place balls on ungreased cookie sheet
• Bake 8-10 minutes or till bottoms are browned and cookie set
• Remove cookies to wire rack 
• After 3 minutes add unwrapped Hershey kiss to each center of cookie
