peanut butter blossoms
Peanut butter and chocolate...a match made in cookie heaven! Soft, chewy peanut butter cookies rolled in sugar and topped with a Hershey kiss. These cookies should be a little crisp on the outside and soft and chewy within. Rumor has it that this classic cookie started as a mistake by a lady in 1957. She ran out of chocolate chips and substituted with a Hershey Kiss on the top instead.
