Peanut Blossoms

Its Christmas baking season! Time to pull out all those holiday favorites. I would love to hear what some of your favorites are, leave a comment, maybe you will help me discover a few new ones!! I thought I would start the season off with a classic, but can you believe I've never made peanut blossoms before! So simple, so delicious, so classic! Good thing I had some leftover kisses I needed to use up! The M-ster was very helpful in unwrapping all the kisses and in pressing them into the cookies. Here's the recipe I used, just in case, like me, you've never made them either. :)

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup peanut butter
