The Best Holiday Cookie Recipe!

Thanksgiving…a time for giving thanks, spending time with family and loved ones…and of course, THE FOOD!!! I’m sure all of my readers have their go-to Thanksgiving traditions and meals that they enjoy, but I wanted to share my absolute favorite holiday dessert that I make every year at Thanksgiving and Christmas time: Hershey’s Peanut Butter Blossoms!

Hershey’s Peanut Butter Blossoms Recipe

These cookies are sooo good ya’ll!!! I’ve had so many people hesitate to try these, always stating “I don’t like peanut butter cookies!” Without fail, they eat one…and then another…and before they know it, they’ve eaten 4! Rich and moist, with the perfect balance of peanut butter, salty sugary-ness, and chocolate, these cookies are the perfect holiday treat! They are easy to make, and require little to no clean up. My advice: eat them fresh and hot from the oven, and wash them down with a tall cold glass of milk!

 

*These cookies look yummy, and small children may confuse them for sugar cookies, or chocolate chip cookies. Please be careful when serving these cookies around those who may have peanut or peanut butter allergies!*
