Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies
Classic peanut butter cookies with a chocolate star or chocolate kiss in the middle. These cookies are good for any time of the year – but they are my favorite cookies to make at Christmas time. There's nothing like watching a Christmas movie with a cup of coffee – and dipping one of these cookies in hot coffee so the chocolate just starts to melt.
