Peanut Butter Blossoms

I love making these cookies during the holidays…  They just are too cute and a great cookie to have around during your holiday gatherings!  The kids love getting involved with these too… They are always in charge of removing all the foils off the kisses… One less thing for me to do… and I pay them for their job well done with a few extra kisses 😉

This recipe is really easy to make… Give it a try!
