Where Can I Find Sanding Sugar?
If you want to buy sanding sugar you can find it in many craft stores that have a cake decorating area. You can also find it in a lot of grocery stores in the baking aisle. It is usually located with the sprinkles.
Can I Use Regular Chocolate Kisses Instead?
The great thing about these cookies is you can use any type of kisses. I love the beautiful look of the white striped kisses against the dark cookie,s but you can use whatever type of kisses you like, including the plain regular chocolate kisses.

How to Make Gingerbread Kiss Cookies
Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line baking sheets with parchment paper then set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together your flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, baking soda, and salt.
Using another bowl or stand mixer, beat together the brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Mix in the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract.
Now, you will add in the dry ingredients gradually until the dough forms.
Pour your sanding sugar into a bowl, and form small balls of cookie dough then roll them in the sanding sugar.
Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, then bake for 8-10 minutes.
Pull from the oven and allow them to cool for 2-3 minutes before adding a Hershey’s kiss into the center.
Allow them to cool completely before serving.
