Preheat oven to 350° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Beat butter on medium-high speed for about a minute. Pour in sugar and beat butter and sugar for a couple more minutes.
Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.
Add peppermint and vanilla extracts and salt.
Turn down the mixer to stir and add flour. Stir it in until combined. You may need to use rubber spatula at the end.
Use #40 or #50 cookie scoop to scoop out even amounts of cookie dough. Roll cookie dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet 1 or 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12-14 minutes.
Gently press in a candy cane kiss in the center of each cookie immediately after you take the cookies out of the oven. Cool cookies on a wire rack.
To make decorative "snow," simply grate candy cane kisses on a fine cheese grater over cookies.
