1 cup sugar (3/4 cups for dough ¼ cup for sprinkling on cookies)
1 egg
1 tsp salt
1 tsp peppermint extract
1 ¾ cup flour
Peppermint kisses

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° F. Combine butter, cream cheese, and ¾ cup of sugar in mixer and cream together. Add egg, salt, and peppermint extract. Slowly incorporate the flour. Form dough into 2 inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking tray. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Use a glass to flatten cookies. Bake at 350° F for 10-12 minutes. Unwrap peppermint kisses and press one into the center of each cookie. Chill cookies in the fridge for 30 minutes to prevent peppermint kisses from fully melting.
