Candy Cane Cookies

Yield: 4 dozen
350 degrees F

1 box Devils Food cake mix
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup oil
1 egg
Hershey's Candy Cane Kisses*

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Batter will be very stiff. Spoon into cups of mini muffin tin and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees F. While cookies are baking, unwrap candy and set aside. As soon as cookies come out of the oven, push a Kiss into each one. Finish cooling completely on rack before storing in covered container or zipped plastic bag.

*These are seasonal and may be hard to find after the holidays.

NOTES:
1. Because the batter is stiff, it's a little tricky to work with; I just used my finger to push it off a teaspoon, but a small cookie scoop would be ideal.
2. After putting the candy in the cookies, I stuck the pan back in the oven for about 30-45 seconds to make sure they melted - worked great.

These are the easiest cookies you'll ever make and the ooey gooey candy is wonderful when you eat them still warm!
