Sprinkle Blossom Cookies

This delightful recipe is easy to follow and perfect for any occasion.

Course: Baked Goods
Cuisine: Canadian

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup Crisco shortening
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 3-4 Tbsp cream or milk
  • assorted sprinkles
  • approximately 21 Hershey's Kisses

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Set oven to 350F
  2. Cream the butter, the shortening, and the sugar until well combined. Beat in the vanilla.
  3. Whisk together the cornstarch, flour, and salt, and add them to the bowl, along with the cream to bring together the dough. It will be crumbly, but it should come together when you press it between your fingers. If your dough is very dry you can add a little more milk or cream.
  4. Roll 1 inch balls of dough in your palms until smooth. Roll the balls in sprinkles, pressing them on as best as you can.
  5. Set the balls on an ungreased baking sheet.
  6. Using a wrapped Hershey's kiss, press down on each ball to form an indent for the candy. The ball will squish down and may crack a bit, that's ok. (Don't bake the cookies with the Kiss)
  7. Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes.
  8. Immediately put an unwrapped Kiss into each cookie, pushing down gently. Shower the top of the cookie with a few more sprinkles, if desired.
  9. Let cool on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to a rack.
