She used Brach stars unless she could not find them then she used Kisses, she pressed the chocolate in the cookie pre baked and it held its shape as long as you didn’t touch it until cooled. The peanut butter blossoms were a recipe on the Land o Lake’s butter pkg way back in the day, my grandmother made them every year for Christmas. Or you can make them like the Kisses Cookies and just press them into the ball after they bake. You can bake them in the pan with or without liners. Heat them up in the microwave and use a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off to drizzle the melted chocolate across the tops. Just leave enough room to place a peanut butter cup in the middle.Īnd if you make cookies with both of the candies, just use some of the extra Kisses to decorate. You can also use the same cookie dough with Reese’s.īut this time press the dough into a mini muffin tray. Have a voice of reason nearby so you don’t eat them all in one sitting. The heat from the cookies, will slightly soften the chocolate and give the candies a wonderful glossy look.Īnd that’s exactly the best time to take a bite.
Push the Kisses into the cookies as soon as they come out of the oven. Roll the cookie dough into 1 1/2 inch balls.
I mean look at these tempting little guys in all their melty, chocolaty topped goodness and try not to eat one. It’s been a long time since I’ve had these simple cookies, but I still feel the same excitement whenever they come out of the oven. Whatever you want to call them they are hard to resist. They’re an oldie but a goodie – and one I never get tired of. I made some peanut butter cookies the other day and topped them off with Hershey’s Kisses.
