    Do you enjoy baking during the holidays?

    I usually set aside a day or two to make all of my favorite cookies, plus a few new recipes that look too good to resist.

    It's a tradition that my mom started with my sister and I years ago. Now that I live so far away from where I grew up, baking my family favorites is a great way to carry on the fun.

    I have a few cookie recipes that I always make (my family's Pecan Fingers, Mini Chocolate Chip Cheesecakes, and Honey Cookies are all faves), and I always bake is my mom's Poppy Seed Kiss Cookies, too.

    How to Make Poppy Seed Cookies

    I absolutely love these Poppy Seed Kiss Cookies! The yummy flavor brings me straight back to my childhood, and I can never resist grabbing one (or three) when I walk by a platter.

    This is definitely a cookie you could eat year round, but I think of these poppy seed cookies as a holiday cookie. I guess old habits die hard!

    Unlike many Christmas cookies, these Poppy Seed Kiss Cookies are a snap to make. After preparing the easy dough, you'll roll it into balls, add a thumbprint, then bake the cookies until they're golden on the bottom.

    Once the cookies come out of the oven, simply add the chocolate kisses while the cookies are still hot.

    I can hardly wait for these Poppy Seed Kiss Cookies to cool down before taking a bite. And I rarely do!

    They are wonderfully tender, and the poppy seeds give the cookies a unique, delicious flavor. Of course, the chocolate doesn't hurt either.

    Add these Poppy Seed Kiss Cookies to your holiday rotation this year ... they just might become a tradition for your family, too!

    I am SERIOUSLY swooning over these cookies, Ginnie! My family made regular Peanut Blossom cookies with the Kisses when I was a kid, but I'm loving this grown-up version. The poppy seeds just add such a different look and flavor, and I know I've gotta bake these this year!

    Thanks so much for participating in this year’s Sweetest Season! I’ve loved seeing all the recipes, getting in the spirit and feeling inspired to bake EVERYTHING this month! Well done!
