Peanut butter blossoms
Anytime you mix peanut butter with chocolate, in my opinion you have a winner. These particular cookies are not only easy to make, but fun to make. This is a classic recipe that is also known as peanut butter stars. You can of course use any Hershey kisses but I find the traditional chocolate is my favorite. This recipe is perfect for a Christmas cookie exchange.
