Before Christmas, I made peanut butter blossoms. This was a cookie that my Mom never made growing up and I was only introduced to it in middle school at my friends house. Her mom made these and I remember sneaking into the dining room where she would have all the cookies stored and I’d unwrap a plate and eat all the pb blossoms off it. hehehehe I just couldn’t help myself! I’m sure her Mom went a little crazy wondering where all these cookies went!
I love food, especially sweets. So, when I found out how to make peanut butter blossoms, I knew I had to try them. They’re so delicious and easy to make. If you’ve never had a peanut
And now every Christmas, I make these cookies and at least half of what I make ends up in my belly instead of on the plates of goodies I’m sharing with my friends! These cookies are super easy to make and are a classic cookie that’s loved by everyone. This recipe comes directly from the Hershey’s website and I did nothing special to it… cause it’s perfect the way it is!
Enjoy!
