Peppermint Sugar Cookies

I decided to try a new recipe in the kitchen. I got my inspiration from the peanut butter Hershey kiss cookie. Instead of peanut butter, I used sugar cookie dough and instead of chocolate kisses I used peppermint kisses. I unwrapped a whole bag of peppermint kisses, saved some to put on top of the cookies and chopped the rest of them up to put in the dough.

 I rolled the dough in sugar and then popped them in the oven to bake. When they came out, I added a little peppermint kiss to the top. Easy-peasy. A good holiday cookie that I'll likely make again :) I left the kisses off some of the larger cookies so there is a mixture.  The peppermint sugar cookies turned out great!

I must admit, I use store bought sugar cookie dough mix. I find that I don't have a lot of time to fuss over stuff these days and it was a lot easier to out a bag of mix, add an egg and some butter and mix :)
