Chocolate mint kiss krinkles

Kiss my krinkles!!. So around Christmas stores start selling these mint Hershey kisses. They are not as good as those ones with the caramel they sell on Valentin's day but they are close.I am not a big mint fan but as long as it is not BAM slap in the face minty madness I don't really mind it. I love when you have some fresh pastry from the fryer and you roll it in powdered sugar and it melts and turns into the glaze type thing and it melts in your mouth.Well I do that with this.I put powdered sugar on them and they are like snow on a tree. You  know what would be cool.Well-come on guess.Fine I will tell you because I am COOL like that.If I woke up on Christmas day looked under the tree and there were boxes of these.That would be a Christmas to remember.I remember all mine because we take a lot of pictures.We always end up with like 329 pictures.That is really annoying when you have to go throw them all and half are not even good. How did we get onto this topic.I blame you,Kidding I'm not that mean.Anyway so These are like cool good man. Look at me today I am all like talking weird like a teen.GO JAMIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Well g2g(man look at me and my teen launguage) enjoy and Happy holidays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ingredients-
9 large egg whites, room temperature
4 ½ cups powdered sugar, plus more for rolling
1 ½ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
About 60 Mint Truffle Hershey’s Kisses

Directions-
Preheat oven to 350°. Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper and unwrap your Kisses. Melt 3 cups of the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Cool slightly.
   Whisk 3 cups powdered sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
   Beat egg whites in an electric mixer until they form soft peaks. Gradually beat in 1 ½ cups powdered sugar. Continue beating until fluffy and thicker (a little thinner than marshmallow crème). Beat dry ingredients into the meringue on low speed. Stir in lukewarm chocolate and remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips. *The dough will seem too liquid to scoop. Give it a few minutes and it will stiffen a lot!*
.       Place about a cup of powdered sugar in a bowl. Roll balls of cookie dough (about a tablespoon) in powdered sugar and place on prepared cookie sheets. Bake about 8-10 minutes. Immediately place one Mint Kiss on each cookie. Do not move cookies until they are completely cooled or the Kiss will collapse.Serve ans enjoy(happy holidays!)
