Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture and continue to mix until well combined.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and cocoa powder, then gradually add to the wet ingredients.
• Take spoonfuls of the dough and roll them into balls, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven and immediately press a candy cane kiss into the center of each cookie.
• Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
