Halloween is barely over.... Thanksgiving is still two weeks away... but this girl has CHRISTMAS on the brain! Last weekend I made white chocolate peppermint cupcakes for the craft fair which were a HUGE HIT.
I had some left over Hershey's Candy Cane Kiss chocolates and figured I'd come up with something delicious to make with them.
Peanut butter blossom cookies are traditionally made with a peanut butter cookie and a Hershey Kiss... but I thought, what about a white chocolate cookie and a Candy Cane Kiss? PERFECT!
Now, I know that white chocolate liqueur might not be easy to find... so you could make these with vanilla extract and some milk instead of the liqueur. But, if you can find the white chocolate... use it. It's subtle but SO YUMMO.

Candy cane kisses are my complete downfall. I bought out two stores last Christmas to make sure I had them, then ate every single one long before summer. I so wish Hershey would make them available year round. These cookies sounds great and I will definitely make them.
And these cookies are so soft too!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!! <3
I just made these cookies and they are fabulously yummy:) I used coffee creamer, white chocolate mocha instead of the liquor, and it made them very rich and creamy!
I love these cookies too!!! 🙂 Great idea to use coffee creamer!!!
The alcohol gets cooked out doesn't it
