{Peanut Butter Blossoms}

Did everyone have a wonderful Christmas? I had a lovely time surrounded by family and we even had a light snow fall for Christmas Eve!

Ever since I was little, my mother always made me her helper in the kitchen when she was baking.

After years of practice, I think I have these cookies (Dad’s favorite!) down to a science. Peanut butter blossoms are necessary on any cookie platter and in every cookie jar!

1 cup butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 eggs

3 1/2 cups all purpose-flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

    I made these for my cookie swap this year, but instead of peanut butter, I used shredded coconut, and they were amazing!
