It’s that time! These Hershey’s Peanut Butter Blossoms are Bald Man’s favorite Christmas cookie. He has fond memories of getting the job of unwrapping the multitudes of Hershey’s Kisses. That job has now been passed down to our oldest two, the 5 and 3 year olds. They had a blast openening all the candies. I think it was like a chance to open a bunch of pretty little presents! I was impressed with my 3 year old. He was the only one NOT to ask to eat some of the chocolates. Even the 1 year old, who wasn’t helping, was begging for a bite.
The dough for these cookies are made into balls, which are then rolled in granulated sugar. This is another step where the kids can jump in and lend a hand. They’re so proud when they’ve helped to create a pretty and delicious product!
Check out Hershey’s website for more great recipes. They have an icon next to the recipe names to let you know which are fun for kids. Enjoy!
