People love to bake holiday treats. These holiday treats usually include cakes, cookies, and bars. Add a festive look to your table with Mint Chocolate Blossom Cookies, a festive cookie for kids and grown ups as well.

Mint Chocolate Blossom Cookies

• 1 stick margarine
• ¾ cup sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 tbsp milk
• 1 tsp peppermint extract
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• Approximately 25 Hershey Kisses, Candy Cane flavored- unwrapped

With an electric mixer, beat margarine and sugar until smooth. Blend in egg yolk, milk, and peppermint extract.
In a separate bowl, stir together flour, cocoa, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until combined.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Roll the chilled dough into balls, approximately 1” in diameter. Roll each ball in sprinkles and place on a cookie sheet. Press any loose sprinkles in with your fingers.Use your thumb to make an indention in the top of each cookie.

Chill the prepared balls another 30 minutes. This keeps the cookies from running. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until set.

Remove them from the oven and immediately press a Hershey Kiss into the center. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
