Happy Dec 13th! I can't believe the weekend is already over and its time for Monday again! So to start the week off right I wanted to bake a batch of another one of my favorite Christmas cookies...Hershey's Kisses Peanut Butter Blossoms. I just love the combination of peanut butter and chocolate.
Start off by unwrapping one of the best pieces of chocolate ever, Hershey's Kisses.
Prepare the peanut butter dough, roll into balls and coat in sugar.
Bake the peanut butter balls and immediately after you pull them out of the oven, place a Hershey's Kisses in each of them. The warmth of the dough allows the kisses to set to the cookie. If you pop one of these in your mouth while they are still hot, the chocolate just melts in your mouth. Delicious!
I love the sparkle of the sugar crystals on these cookies.
