Also for our Sunday School Christmas party:
-Peanut Blossoms
This is definite favorite recipe from childhood. My mom used to make these using the little chocolate stars, so I always called them Star Cookies. I think I enjoy these out of everything that the Christmas dessert table has to offer. Call me a nostalgic sap, but these are the best because of the memories attached to them!
Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup butter at room temperature
2/3 cups creamy peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 bag Hershey's Kisses (unwrap about 30 to start with)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375. Cream together butter, peanut butter, and both sugars. Add eggs. Blend in dry ingredients. Mix well. Shape dough into walnut-sized balls. Roll each ball in a small bowl filled with some white sugar. Place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake 8 minutes. Remove from oven and press a Kiss onto each cookie so they crack around the edges. Baked another 2-5 minutes longer until golden.
