Sugar cookie and chocolate cookies filled with candy cane Hershey Kiss. Soft, supple, and easy to make!
The sugar cookie recipe that I used today, I just doubled the recipe as well as a slight increase of butter because I found the dough becomes too dry. This is a very basic sugar cookie recipe to make drop cookies. The material is not weird, just butter, sugar, eggs, flour, leavener (for moisture and chewing), and thats about it! Bonus: there is no cold dough is required for sugar vanilla cakes.
Make cookie dough, roll into balls (about 1 tbsp of batter each), roll into a wide variety of topping, and bake for 8-10 minutes. It is very important to read: the cookie should be relatively firm. If you find that it is very soft and hard to roll, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. A soft cookie dough = cookie. Also, the cookies will look very, very under-baked. That is exactly what you need. Do not over bake. Let the cake cool for about 5 minutes. Press Hershey Kiss into the Center and put the tray into the freezer. Doing this will prevent the kiss from melting.
