The star of this year’s cookie exchange – rich, fudgy chocolate cookies packed with chopped candy cane kisses and drizzled with chocolate and chopped candy cane for a festive look
Confession time : the first smell of Christmas and my addiction for candy cane takes over. I’ve been in candy cane land for a couple of weeks now, just after Halloween to be honest. Once the trick or trickers were gone I rushed to the local Giant market and filled my shopping card with Christmas candy.
I’ve been candy cane this and candy cane that for a while now. I hope you’re ready for some holiday baking. The fun is on now until Christmas day on Roxana’s Home Baking.
Speaking of fun, do you know what day is today? You right! It’s time to open the doors for another chocolate party! This month the theme is one I know you’ll love – chocolate cookies. Anything goes, as long as they put us in the holiday spirit and they call for chocolate in any form or shape.
To see what my amazing hostesses have prepared for you this month, scroll to the bottom of the page.

Now, back to these amazing candy cane kisses chocolate cookies. The are rich, sweet and fudgy. Almost as fudgy as a brownie cookie. Although they do not have melted chocolate added to the cookie dough, the unsweetened cocoa powder sure does the trick. They stay soft for few days, but best if kept in an airtight container.
Once the cookies were baked I melted some more Hershey’s candy cane kisses and drizzled the cookies with them and as a final touch some finely chopped candy cane kisses will make them look very festive.
You can make these cookies two ways. I prefer mine thicker so I let the cookie dough chill in the fridge for a couple of minutes. If you want a thinner cookie (but keep in mind, these cookies will not spread too much) you can bake them as soon as you scoop the cookie dough on the baking sheets.
