Instructions:
In a bowl, combine powdered sugar, butter, extracts and egg; beat on medium speed until fluffy. In a second bowl, combine flour, crushed candy canes, baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture to wet mixture, beat until well blended (mixture will be kind of dry); stir in chopped kisses. Shape dough into 1 inch balls; roll in sugar. Place 1 inch apart on greased cookie sheet.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 - 12 minutes, until firm and set. Remove from oven; immediately press a Candy Cane Kiss in the center of each cookie. Very quickly place cookie sheet in refrigerator to prevent the kisses from melting.
