Peanut Blossoms II

“I make these every year for our annual cookie open house. We make about 15 to 20 different kinds of cookies and have a 4 hour open house with friends. We then prepare cookie trays to take to shut ins and freeze the rest to enjoy all year long. My husband helps with this four day project! He's retired ... and I'm partially retired. It has been a long standing tradition that we enjoy every year!”

I make cookies to give away every christmas and these are always a favorite! This recipe is great! One thing that I do is put chocolate and peanut butter kisses in the center instead of plain. They don't hold the kiss shape but they make cute little buttons for peanut butter freaks like me to enjoy even more :)

Wonderful recipe! I'm not a huge fan of Hershey kisses and somehow end up gifted with a bag of them every year. And this is where they always end up. Delicious!

My mom always made me peanut blossoms and they are fantastic! I didn't make this recipie but the one I have is very similar, it uses butter. After we add the kiss we bake them for another 5 min to soften the kiss. They stay softened even after cooled too. It is sooooo yummy!!! Absotutly me favorite cookie. I think I'm going to go make some now!

I gave this four stars because my husband loved them. I wasn't such a fan. They are soft and the texture is perfect, however I thought the taste was a little lacking.

I loved these! The grandkids loved these - especially the "gi-normous" chocolate chip on top. Really easy, fun and way too good.

These were kind of bland. The peanut butter cookie didn't have the PB flavor that I was looking for.

These cookies are pretty good. I used butter flavored Crisco. I would have liked more of a peanut butter taste. That would really help to improve these.

These were good. I baked mine for 8 minutes. They came out much better than when they were in for 10 minutes, too crispy. At least in my oven. No need to freeze the dough it worked great for me as it was. Also if you put the candy on top as soon as it comes out of the oven it will soften on it's own. Don't touch untill it is completely cooled and the chocolate has set. The only reason I didn't give it 5* is because,(I hate to say it) But I had a box mix that was better. They sold it at Sam's Club during the holidays. Thanks for the recipe though.

This is precisely my mother's recipe, which according to the recipe card, she got from Ladies' Home Journal. Always comes out great! She's has Celiac, so she's adapted a gluten-free version - substitute rice flour for the regular flour, and add 1 1/2 tsp of xantham gum. As always, the uncooked dough will taste funny, but the rice flavor will cook right out of it and you won't be able to tell the difference!

These cookies were good, but a little too peanuty for me, I will cut the peanut butter back to 3/4 cup next time. Also, although we ate every last one, they crumbled and unfortunately did not transport well across the states well.

We have been making these in my family for years. These cookies are a huge hit and always remind me of Christmas with my family even if they are not around.

I have made cookies like this for YEARS. Mine always dried out and cracked. These were much better and I will use this recipe from now on. To keep my family tradition I used chocolate stars instead of the kisses.

This is one of my family's favorite Christmas cookies! They always turn out well. I like to make the balls 3/4 inch rather than 1 inch; that way there is more chocolate on each cookie!
