..And you thought I forgot.
Welcome to Day 1 of the 12 Days of Cookiesssss!
^ That logo is just so good, I have to keep using it.
Today is the first day of my personal Christmas cookie challenge, posting one recipe a day for 12 whole days. Since the completion of my grad school finals I've been going over recipes in my head, and today is the day that it all begins.
The first recipe is a Wells family favorite, and it's a peanut butter cookie. What could be better?
At 12 ingredients, Peanut Butter Blossoms are a perfect way to begin this countdown! So here's the recipe:
Peanut Butter Blossoms
Ingredients
48 Hershey Kisses
3/4 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 & 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
More granulated sugar to roll the cookies in
1. Unwrap the kisses, and heat the oven to 350.
2. Beat shortening and peanut butter in a large bowl until well blended. Add 1/3 cup of granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat until fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla and beat well. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and salt and gradually add it to the butter mixture.
3. Roll dough into one inch balls, roll through sugar and put on ungreased cookie sheet.
4. Bake 8-10 minutes until lightly browned. Immediately press a hershey kiss into the center of the cookie. Move to wire wrack to cool.

Not too shabby for the first day. Come back tomorrow for a classic Spritz Cookie recipe!
