Peanut Butter Blossoms

These are my favorite cookies. Ever. The end.

Just kidding! How could I not share the recipe to pure bliss?!

I was checking out recipes for these babies online when I called my mom to double check proportions and then she was all like, “USE MINE!” how dare I not use hers?! Sheesh.

Oh and when you’re done making these, serve them like this:

…and then you can die in peace.

Recipe

via My Mother.

Ingredients

• 3.5 cups flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup butter (2 sticks – room temperature)
• 1 cup smooth peanut butter
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 eggs

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat to keep from sticking
2. Cream sugars and butter together until fluffy.
3. Add peanut butter and mix until smooth
4. Add salt, vanilla, and baking powder and mix in
5. Add eggs one at a time and mix until blended
6. Add flour in small increments until thick dough forms
7. Add about 1/2 cup of plain sugar to a bowl, roll dough into small balls and roll into sugar. Place on baking sheet 2 inches apart from each other.
8. Bake for 10-12 mins (I pulled them out after 10)
9. Place a kiss (unwrapped !) in the center of each cookie and press into warm dough
10. Let cool on a cooling rack.
11. Eat with milk

I added all the flour and my batter was dry and crumbly so if it’s starting to look like that you can always add a drop of milk to the batter to keep it to stick together.

I used my hand mixer but this dough would probably be perfect in a pretty stand mixer as well.

Shovel in face. Pass out. Wake up. Repeat.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
