While I was baking them, I was remembering that these particular cookies have a specific name, but I could not remember what it was. After racking my brain, I was thankful when Jeff – one of the husbands – said, “Peanut butter blossoms – they are so good!”
That’s it! Peanut Butter Blossoms! Thank you, Jeff!
2 jars natural peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tsp baking soda
4 eggs
bag of Hershey Kisses
In a large bowl, stir together all ingredients until thoroughly combined. Roll dough into small one inch balls. Place on cookie sheet, and press thumb into center of each ball making a shallow indention. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350*. Remove cookie sheet from oven, let cool a couple of minutes, then press one “kiss” into each cookie. The kisses will melt, but they will keep their shape and harden again after thoroughly cooled.
P.S. If you look closely, you can see that the above pictured “blossom” (not my photo!) has also been rolled in white sugar. After you roll each piece of dough into a ball, then roll it again in a small bowl of sugar until it is completely covered. Place on cookie sheet, and then make the indention with your thumb!
