Peanut Butter Blossoms
One of our favorite Christmas cookies is the traditional peanut butter blossom, it’s the one cookie that gets ooooh’s and aaaah’ss every time I make them. So at the prompting of my daughter, gluten free peanut butter blossom’s filled our home this weekend.
A few notes: I always use parchment paper for cookies, the bottom never burns and they cook evenly. The cookies turned out beautifully, moist, chewy and delicious. Don’t forget to roll them in sugar before baking…my son believes this makes all the difference in the success of these cookies. We also discussed that you must use the Hershey’s Chocolate Kisses…no substituting…only the best.
