Family Tradition

These tasty little cookies go by several different names – peanut butter kiss cookies, Hershey Kiss cookies, or peanut butter blossoms. Whatever you call this classic recipe, we’ve been making them as long as we can remember, along with our Peanut Butter Cup Cookies! In fact, we asked our mom when she first made them and she said she’s made them since she first got married – over 45 years ago!! This favorite easy cookie recipe is great all year long, but also for cookie exchanges and parties because everyone loves them along with other favs like our M&M cookies and Frosted Sugar Cookies.
