Gingerbread Kiss Cookies
If you love gingerbread, I have the perfect cookie. I love gingerbread and I try to make it all winter long. This year I have been on a gingerbread kick and I have made a lot of different gingerbread favorites. These gingerbread kiss cookies are perfection.
Where Can I Find Sanding Sugar?
If you want to buy sanding sugar you can find it in many craft stores that have a cake decorating area. You can also find it in a lot of grocery stores in the baking aisle. It is usually located with the sprinkles.
Can I Use Regular Chocolate Kisses Instead?
The great thing about these cookies is you can use any type of kisses. I love the beautiful look of the white striped kisses against the dark cookie,s but you can use whatever type of kisses you like, including the plain regular chocolate kisses.

In a large bowl, mix together your flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, baking soda, and salt.
Using another bowl or stand mixer, beat together the brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Mix in the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract.
Now, you will add in the dry ingredients gradually until the dough forms.
