Description

Ingredients

• 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 and ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• holiday sprinkles
• 24 mint kisses, unwrapped

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat. Set aside.
• Cream together the butter and granulated sugar in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment; mix on medium-speed until it is creamed. Mix in the egg yolks and vanilla extract.
• Slowly mix in the flour ½ cup at a time and mix on medium-speed for about 5 minutes. Fold in the baking powder and salt with a plastic spatula.
• Roll the dough, about 1 tablespoon, into a ball and roll into the holiday sprinkles; place onto the cookie sheet. Do the rest the same way. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes, then place a kiss on top. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer so the kisses will not melt. I placed the sheet in the freezer for 5 minutes, just enough to cool them down.
