Hershey is introducing a new blossoms cookie, the Holiday Sugar Cookie Blossoms, to spark festive cookie baking this year. With a sugar cookie base and the new Hershey’s Kisses Sugar Cookie candy at the center, the new Holiday Sugar Cookie Blossoms are a colorful addition to holiday traditions.
The inspiration for the new recipe comes from Hershey’s home state, Pennsylvania. The sugar cookie is a holiday favorite that was introduced to the world by Dutch settlers in Pennsylvania in the 1700s, and now serves as the base for the new Holiday Sugar Cookie Blossoms.
“The Hershey Kitchen elves have been hard at work this year creating festive ways to brighten the holiday season,” says Erin Crawford, brand manager, Hershey holiday team. “We know that blossoms are holiday cookie staple. This year we wanted to introduce something new and festive showcasing our newest holiday Kisses - Hershey’s Kisses Sugar Cookie candy. The Holiday Sugar Cookie Blossoms are colorful, super easy cookies to make; bound to make sweet and special memories in the kitchen this holiday season.”
