Candy Cane Kiss Brownie Crinkles


If I had to choose only one cookie to eat for the rest of my life, it would be these cookies!! They are my favorite cookie ever! I took my favorite brownie cookie recipe, wrapped it around a Candy Candy Cane kiss, rolled it in crushed peppermint and then rolled it in powdered sugar. The result? A rich, fudgy brownie like cookie literally oozing with white chocolate and peppermint with a delightful little peppermint crunch on the outside. If you love peppermint and chocolate as much as I do these are a must make! 
Candy Cane Kiss Brownie Crinkles

Ingredients:
½ cup salted butter
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips 
¾ cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup  all-purpose flour
⅓ cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
24 Hershey's Candy Cane Kisses
3 Candy Canes 
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Directions: 
In a large microwave safe bowl, place the chocolate chips and butter.  Microwave on high for 60 seconds then stir to combine.  Place in microwave for another 30 seconds and stir until smooth.  Stir in brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla.  Add flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda.  Stir until combined.  Chill in refrigerator for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, unwrap the Kisses and place in bowl.  Unwrap candy canes and place in a ziplock bag.  Use a mallet or rolling pin to crush the candy canes and pour into a small bowl.  In a third bowl add 1/2 cup powdered sugar. 
After the dough has chilled, pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.  Line 2 sheets with parchment paper or foil.  
Scoop about 1 TBSP of cookie dough and flatten out in your palm.  Place a Kiss into the center of the dough and wrap the dough around it.  Roll the dough to form a ball, and then roll it in the crushed candy canes and then again in the powdered sugar.  
Place cookies on the prepared sheet pans, spacing a few inches apart for 12 per pan.  Bake for 9-11 minutes until the cookies have crinkles and are firm around the edges but still soft in the center.  Don't over bake! 
Remove cookies from oven and let cool on pan for 10 minutes before removing to a cooking rack.  
Enjoy!

Note: These cookies are absolutely divine when eaten when they are still warm and gooey.  If enjoying after cookies have completely cooled I highly recommend microwaving them for 10-15 seconds to make them soft and melty again.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
