Thank you Hamilton Beach for partnering with me on this recipe. All opinions are my own.

How was your Christmas? I hope it was everything you wanted it to be and filled with joy and love. I actually had a beautiful Christmas and got an awesome attachment for my stand mixer and a TV and a wireless receiver so I can watch Food Network while I’m cooking in my kitchen. My kids are at such a fun age and it’s the first Christmas they both were excited and aware what was going on. I had a wonderful time making our Christmas meal and memories with my mama who had come to stay for the holiday. We all made sure to reflect on the true meaning of the holiday and to be thankful. All in all it couldn’t have been any better except for one “gift” I wasn’t planning on.

I spent half the day on Christmas Eve in minor emergency care with shingles. I’m thinking Santa mixed up jewelry that jingles with shingles???

I felt so awful on Christmas Eve and I was so worried I was going to spend Christmas in bed and miss seeing my kiddos’ excitement on Christmas morning and leave my mama to cook the meal we had planned all by herself. I sent up a prayer I could make it through Christmas day and it was answered. Despite the nerve pain and feeling extremely run down on Christmas Eve, my case of Shingles never turned into the horror story I’ve heard from others. Though I wasn’t 100% on Christmas Day I managed to enjoy it and help prepare the meal.

My new Hamilton Beach food processor made it easier for me by doing the hard chopping work for these Coated Caramel Kiss Cookies. The easy to use food processor made short work of the almonds and toffee bits these cookies are coated with.

The Hamilton Beach Snap and Stack聽10聽cup food processor was great for chopping the ingredients for these cookies, but it can also mix, puree, shred, and slice. It’s so versatile in can be used in everything from soups and salads to desserts. I love the big buttons and the indicators for what function it’s set on. The food processor’s capabilities are gourmet, but it’s so simple to use which was a huge help to me especially on that Christmas day when I wasn’t feeling great. It’s also super easy to store which is great in my full kitchen.

Coated Caramel Kiss Cookies: Easy to make buttery cookies with a caramel kiss center and coated in chopped almonds and toffee. Pretty and easy too! By Penney Lane Kitchen

These cookies may look complicated with the coating and the Kisses in the middle, but they are an easy dough to make, the almonds and the toffee can be chopped in the food processor, and the kisses are just popped in as soon as they come out of the oven. They’re pretty cookies that look like more effort than they are. 馃檪

Coated Caramel Kiss Cookies: Easy to make buttery cookies with a caramel kiss center and coated in chopped almonds and toffee. Pretty and easy too! By Penney Lane Kitchen

I found this recipe in The Cookie Bible that I picked up at Target (a great cookie cook book by the way) and I used caramel kisses instead of plain chocolate and I added toffee to the almonds for a couple of flavor twists. It is super important to put the kisses in as soon as they come out of the oven while the cookies are still soft so that they sink in. Work fast!

Despite spending Christmas Eve in minor care ER, I had a great Christmas and we had a beautiful meal of prime rib, roasted veggies, and a hash brown casserole. Everyone kept talking about the 聽Coated Caramel Kiss Cookies though which were a hit and easy to do thanks to a simple recipe and the Hamilton Beach food processor that saved me a LOT of chopping. The cookies will definitely be making an appearance at next year’s Christmas gathering (and throughout the year as you can have these anytime) but hopefully Santa won’t get mixed up and we can skip the shingles.

    Visiting from Showcase your talent Thursday. I’ve never made kiss cookies before even though it’s been on my bake list for ages, I like this variation with the almond coating. I co-host Sweet and Savoury Sunday and would love for you to stop by and share this and other recipes with us when the party goes live Saturday Morning. Happy New Year!

    My favorite recipe that uses a food processor is Tuscan Vegetable Soup. It calls for lots of veggies (plus I double the recipe) and since I don’t use canned or frozen, I have tons of chopping slicing to do.
