Peanut Butter Blossoms
While making all of my Christmas cookies, I thought it would be a good idea to post a recipe to one of the favorites. I have always gotten rave responses about the Peanut Butter Blossoms from my family and friends. It's a classic cookie, and I realize that there are lots of recipes out there, but some work for some and some work better for others. So here's mine.
**Oh, and something a little funny about these cookies is what my family used to always call them. Growing up I didn't know the actual name for these cookies, because I always heard them called "Boobie Cookies." Yep, my family was pretty mature!! Seriously though, it IS what they look like :). **
Anyways, here are the ingredients that you will need:

Anyways, here are the ingredients that you will need:
1 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup softened butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1T milk
1 tsp vanilla
unwrapped Hershey Kisses
extra sugar
**I doubled all of these measurements and it made 102 cookies**
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Then add one at a time the sugar, vanilla, milk, and eggs. On low speed, mix in the peanut butter.
3. With a large mixing spoon, slowly pour in the flour mixture and mix well.
This is where I like to put it in the fridge for a while, at least an hour. I find it hardens the dough a little bit and makes it less sticky. If you don't have the time for this, then feel free to add a little flour until it doesn't stick to your hands.
I also used this time to get my eager to help 6 year old to unwrap all of the chocolates!
4. Once you are ready to do the baking part, roll the dough into small balls.
5. Put some sugar in a bowl, and roll the balls in it until they are completely covered.
6. In an oven preheated to 350, place the balls a few inches apart on a baking sheet. I like to put them on parchment paper so they do not stick. Bake them from 6-8 minutes.
7. Pull them out of the oven and gently push a Hershey Kiss into the center of each cookie. Put back into the oven for another 2-3 minutes to help the chocolate attach to the cookie.
8. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving to a wire rack. Cool completely.
Enjoy!!!
