Рецепт Peanut Butter Blossoms for the #Holidays
Share on Facebook Share Share on TwitterTweet Share on Google Plus Share Share on Pinterest Share Share on LinkedIn Share Its time to make to some Peanut Blossom Cookies! These ubiquitous cookies have been a favorite especially around Christmastime in many American households.Peanut Butter and chocolate is a great combination and I can never get enough of these beauties. In our house, the hubs and my thirteen year old equally love these cookies but my eight year old is not a big fan of peanut butter, hence he doesn’t enjoy them as much.
While I’ve enjoyed many Peanut Butter Blossoms over the years, there’s an interesting story behind it as I found out. Legend has it that Freda Smith intended to make a batch of peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and after mixing part of the dough, realized that her pantry was without chocolate chips. So, she grabbed a bag of Hershey’s Kisses instead and used them atop the cookies.
Ms. Smith entered her creation into the Annual Pillsbury Bake Off Competition and came in third place winning a General Electric range, a mixer and $100 cash while the winning cookies fetched a reward of $45,000.In 1999 Pillsbury named her Peanut Butter Blossoms one of the ten most treasured recipes in the company’s history.
I follow Betty Crocker recipe and they come out perfect every-time.The soft chewy texture and the Hershey’s Kiss standing proudly at the top is the highlight of this cookie. If you’re a chocolate and peanut butter lover like me then you should try to make these at home.You can get creative and dip the cookies in colored sugar for a more festive look.Place them in the freezer for a few minutes so the Kisses don’t melt (since you’re going to place them right after they’re out of the oven).
