Heavenly Peanut Butter Blossoms


This recipe makes about 38 cookies depending on the size of the cookies. Peanut butter blossoms can be ready in 25 minutes, however I preferred to chill the dough for minimum 1 hour. So, the total time in this recipe did not include chilling time.

With Hersheyโ€™s chocolate kisses sitting on top of each cookie, these melt in your mouth Peanut butter blossoms are excellent!
