Who Says You Can't Have Bliss? Snickerdoodles Hugged with Bliss

Who would have thought that snickerdoodles could be hugged with bliss?

Me!! That's who.....

The college that I attend holds a bake sale every year with proceeds going to the adult education program.

You know it! When there is a bake sale anywhere I have to get involved. And I usually try and make my bake sale creations "over the top".

Valentine's Day, Hershey's Dark Chocolate Bliss is what sent these snickerdoodles over the top.

Here is the serenade......

And I unwrapped all those dark chocolate bliss without eating a single one. I think I deserve a prize for that.

Oh, wait a minute.....I got to indulge in bliss hugged snickerdoodles.....

I added 1 tsp. butter with the Bliss chocolates just to make them a little more creamy.

Dunked the snickerdoodles to be hugged half way, and WHALLA!! Introducing Snickdoodles Hugged with Bliss.

Snickerdoodles Hugged with Bliss

1 c. butter, soft

1 c. sugar

2/3 c. brown sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp. vanilla extract

3 c. bread flour

2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. cream of tartar

1/2 tsp. salt

For Sugar/Cinnamon Mixture:

4 TBS sugar

2 tsp. cinnamon

For Chocolate Hug:

1 pkg. Hershey's Dark Chocolate Bliss Candies

1 tsp. butter

Melt in double boiler

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugars, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Mix flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt in bowl. Mix into wet ingredients until smooth. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and roll in sugar/cinnamon mixture. Bake for 14-16 minutes (I used Wilton cookie baking sheets and mine only took about 10 minutes), or until cookie turns slightly golden.

Let cookies cool completely and then dip in melted chocolate candy (you don't really have to worry about getting chocolate on the bottoms of the cookie. I kind of scooted the cookie in the melted chocolate to just cover half of the tops).
