Spice Blossom Cookies

Pin It Now!
 
According to nine out of ten bloggers*, Hershey's Pumpkin Spice Kisses are amazing. Never one to pass up pumpkin flavored anything, I had to see for myself. I hightailed it to Target, and grabbed a few bags, baked up some spice cookies, and topped them with the Kisses. Yes, I agree that the candies are good, but these cookies are freakin' fantastic.



  Spice Blossom Cookies

3 1/4 cups. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup butter
1 1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup  molasses
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
cinnamon and sugar mixture
45-50 Pumpkin Spice Hershey's Kisses, unwrapped and frozen.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 
In a medium bowl mix together dry ingredients. Set aside.
Using a stand mixer (or bowl and hand mixer), cream sugar and butter. Add molasses, vanilla and egg, and the flour mixture  and mix until blended.
Roll the dough into 1 1/2″ balls. Roll each one in a cinnamon and sugar mixture and place 2 inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately place a frozen Hershey kiss in the center of each cookie. Cool on wire rack. I moved the entire piece of parchment to the rack, thus saving time, and the possibility of a cookie bending. 
WARNING:
Do not eat until cooled, or the candy will melt all over the cookie. Only savages eat messy cookies (see my other thumbprint cookie recipe for an example)  Even though your house will smell lovely with the scent of autumnal spices, and you will be pacing in anticipation, wait for the cookies to cool. Wait. You can do it.

  57. Oh my gosh, we made these, and used 1 1/4 cup of molasses (I had the boys make them while I was cooking). hahahahahahahahaha

    Good thing we have a lot of those kisses left so we can try again, lol. Trust me, too much molasses is not a good thing.

    Attempt #2 tomorrow. ;)
