My mom used to always make the peanut butter blossom cookies - those are the peanut butter cookies with a hershey kiss smashed in to them. She hasn't made them this christmas and I don't have time right now since I'm trying to get my thesis done. Hmmm....wonder if i can start leaving hints around the house that I'd love some of those cookies.

The tradition in my house was mom would start to make the cookie dough for sugar cookies and for the peanut blossoms. While she did that we kids would unwrap a few bags of kisses getting them ready for the cookies. Of course, between us kids (and dad) a bag of kisses probably got eaten while we were unwrapping them.

The thing about my mom's peanut blossoms - she puts something in her recipe that makes them taste different then any other I've eaten. I dont' know if it's because she rolls the dough in sugar before she bakes or what.
