Okay, I’ll admit it. I am a total cheaterpants on this one. Last week I was able to score ready made cookie mix and Hershey’s Kisses for super cheap and so I took the easy way out and used a mix for these cookies. 🙂
But… If you want to make peanut butter blossoms from scratch, below is a recipe from the Betty Crocker Website.

I just made 4 dozen of these this morning for a cookie exchange party this afternoon…very yummy. I too took advantage of the Albertson’s deal on the cookie mix and kisses…but decided to donate the mixes (but definitely kept the free Kisses!). Thanks for your 12 days of cookie recipes blogs ~ it’s been fun to read.
