Mini Peanut Butter Blossoms

Little bites!

Here is an all time favorite cookie recipe....Peanut Butter Blossoms. I saw the little mini kisses on sale in the baking aisle, and couldn't resist making some mini blossoms! This is a recipe for cookies made with butter, NOT shortening. I try to avoid shortening...it really grosses me out. Hope y'all had a wonderful Thanksgiving...it's time for Christmas baking to begin!

Peanut Butter Blossoms

Ingredients:

1/2 c sugar

1/2 c brown sugar

1/2 c butter

1/2 c peanut butter

1 egg

1 t vanilla extract

1/4 t salt

1 3/4 c flour

1 t baking soda

1/4 c sugar (for rolling)

48 kisses (or about half a bag of miniature kisses)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375.

Combine sugars, butter and peanut butter in a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Mix until well combined. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet. Mix until well combined.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls (or about half that size for the mini's!). Roll the balls in sugar and place onto cookie sheets.

Bake 8-10 minutes (7-8 for mini's) until the edges are cracked and they are lightly golden brown. Press the kiss in the middle, and cool completely on racks.

Enjoy!
