Possibly two of my favorite flavors in the world are peanut butter,
and chocolate. I have been known when desperate
or just feeling reckless to eat teaspoons of peanut butter drenched in Hershey
syrup, with no ceremony. I am a total
hoss, and recommend you not do as I do. But if you made these cookies, it is
almost like doing the same thing, and way more respectable. Remember that! (If you eat it in cookie form,
it is more respectable.) Peanut butter blossoms are yummy, easy to make, and
look pretty on a plate. This cookie
walks a fine line between candy and cookie, and unless you are allergic to
peanuts, it is the bee’s knees. In total honesty, I don’t make these for me; I
make them for my almost 29 year old “baby” sister. If it wasn’t for her, my
life would be a 1000 times less funny and satisfying. Not only is she my best
friend, but she is the mother to my baby boy, and she is utterly selfless. So I
make these every year just for her.
