Peanut Butter Blossoms

For as long as I can remember, my mom has always made these cookies for Christmas. Either to hand out to her daycare parents or just for us to snack on. Needless to say, these are my favorite so every year, we still continue to make them. And since she no longer does daycare, my mom sends home lots of cookies with me!

Ingredients:

3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
3/4 cup peanut butter
2 eggs
1 3/4 cup flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Hershey Kisses

Preheat oven to 350. Mix dry ingredients and set aside.

Mix sugars, butter and eggs, beating until fluffy. Gradually add dry ingredients with wet dough. The dough should be stiff (you may need to add more flour to make it stiff if the dough is not stiff enough to handle). Make into 1-in balls, roll in sugar and place on a greased pan.

Bake for 10 minutes or until cracks appear. Remove from oven. Press Hershey Kisses into center of each cookie. Return to oven and bake 3-5 minutes longer.

All rolled up and ready to be baked!




Right before they went back into the oven for the last time...




The recipe made lots and lots of cookies! Mine are in the freezer since I can't possibly eat them all before they go bad! Enjoy!
