Though I love gingersnaps and gingerbread as much as anyone, it always seems rather inappropriate to be baking Christmas cookies until at least November. It's a shame because I missed out on making peanut blossoms this year and it's still seven months until November. And frankly, I don't have the patience to wait seven months to enjoy Hershey Kiss topped cookies.
This is why I decided to summer-ize the holiday classic by making graham blossoms. Graham crackers are used to make s'mores, which are eaten when camping, which happens in the summer. It's seasonally appropriate, I promise.
Graham Blossoms
Inspired by: Graham Cracker Cookies
Yield: 4 dozen
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup +2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 48 Hershey Kisses
- Preset oven to 350F
- Cream butter and both sugars
- Mix in egg and vanilla
- In a large bowl, mix sifted flour, salt, baking soda and graham cracker crumbs
- Combine wet and dry ingredients and scoop 1 tablespoon portions of dough
- Bake for 7-9 minutes (Mine were perfect at 8)
- Immediately out of the oven, press a Hershey Kiss into the cookie
Oh, was I supposed to wait until the chocolate set back up? whoops |

PERFECT! I'm so glad I found this! :)
I actually googled "Graham blossoms", because I have a box of Droste Pastilles that I would like to bake into graham crackers instead of eating them plain. I would like to retain the shape of the pastilles, and this is so easy and perfect! Thanks so much!
