In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, peppermint, and egg. mix at medium speed with a hand mixer or stand mixer, scraping the sides of the bowl regularly until creamy.
Add the flour mixture to the bowl, mixing until blended. The mixture will be a bit crumbly. Stir in chopped kisses.
Shape the dough into 3/4-inch balls and roll them in the sugar. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, press a candy cane kiss in the center of each one. Put them immediately in the fridge or freezer so they keep their kiss shape.
