These peppermint kiss cookies are delicious. They are perfect for a Christmas dessert or just to bring to a party. I love how pretty they look too. These cookies melt in your mouth and the yummy kiss chocolate on top makes it taste even better. 😉 You could even throw a few of these in a cute bag from the dollar store and tie a ribbon around it for a super fun and adorable gift.
