Christmas Baking: Kiss Cookies

I host an annual Ugly Sweater Christmas party for 30 people each year and crank out 300+ cookies to serve my friends every year. This super easy take on the classic Peanut Butter Blossom cookies always results in an empty plate!

Ingredients:

• 2 2/3 cup flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup butter (or 1 butter flavored Crisco baking stick)
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• additional sugar
• 5 dozen unwrapped kisses

Directions

• Pre-heat oven to 375
• In large bowl mix flour, salt and baking soda. Add butter and peanut butter. Mix until smooth.
• Add sugars and beat until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs and vanilla and mix until smooth.
• Make balls out of level tablespoons of dough. Roll in additional sugar.
• Bake for 7 minutes. Remove from oven and add 1 kiss to the center of each cookie. Return to oven and bake 2 more minutes.
• Let cool and enjoy!

Helpful Hints

These can be a bit time consuming so try to find somewhere who sells unwrapped Kisses OR employ your man/BFF/child to help you unwrap all the foil!
