You can make this a Christmas baking tradition with toddlers and memories that they will love as they grow up and become teens. Peanut Butter Kiss Blossom Cookies are the perfect combination of peanut butter and chocolate.

Your kids will have fun unwrappingthe kisses and rolling the dough into little balls and rolling them in sugar. Even little ones can press the kiss in the warm cookie as they come out of the oven and are sitting on the cooling rack. Just make sure their little hands are away from the hot pan.
The Kiss cookies are simple peanut butter cookies rolled in sugar, cooked in no time with the perfect kiss in the middle. When the baked cookies are on the cooling rack gentlypress the kiss in the middle being careful not to push them all the way through. The bottom of the kiss meltsjust enough to hold onto the cookies. Yum.
Just remember if you bake these cookies as the first recipe of the season they may not last to your Christmas party. Make sure to have enough ingredients on hand to make a double or extra batch for your Christmas Eve party.
What if I do not have time to cake cookies from scratch?
If you do not have time to make cookies from scratch, but your families love these cookies there is a short cut. I have made Peanut Butter Blossom cookies both from scratch and from the short cut and my family does not know the difference. You can purchase a mix that has all the ingredients including the chocolate kisses all in one place.
You just add water, egg, and vegetable oil and you can make cookies in no time. You can even have the cookie mix delivered to your door in 2-day shipping, check out the mix here!
I have also purchased the big box of the mix at Sam’s Club and Costco.
