Kiss Pockets

From WHITE CEDAR INN

Directions

Ingredients

Frozen pie crust
Hershey Kisses (any flavor)
Egg wash
Sanding sugar in different colors, sprinkles, jimmies

 

Instructions

 

Remove frozen pie crust from package and let soften enough to work with it. Unwrap kisses. Unroll pie crust on a floured surface or waxed paper. Roll out to even surfaces.

 


Starting along the outside edge of the pie crust & using a small (2 1/2 to 3") cookie cutter (I used the glass you see in the photo), cut out as many circles as you can from the pie crust. (Should yield about 16, give or take.) You may need to dust with flour if you work slowly as the cookie cutter will start to stick as the pie crust warms up to room temp.

When your circles are cut, place a Hershey kiss in the center of each circle and fold dough in half over the kiss, making a little pocket for the kiss. Take remaining edges, fold in half to meet other edge and press together over the kiss. Pinch edges together to seal.

 

Brush top surfaces with egg wash (one egg white mixed w/ one tbsp water).

 

Sprinkle on sanding sugar, sprinkles or jimmies. Or, change it up and use sea salt for the salty-sweet combo. Or, skip sanding sugar and use powdered sugar after baking.

Bake on parchment paper at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until pockets are lightly browned. Serve warm with lots of napkins!

Bet these would be good with a dab of raspberry jam in the pocket with the kiss. Notes from the test kitchen: Definitely add the jam, they are a little on the dry side otherwise.
