Blossom Kiss Cookies
The Christmas season is officially here! I love the Christmas season! Gathering with family and friends, special food and treats, watching the kids open presents and celebrating the birth of Jesus. In a few nights the kids will be participating in their annual school Christmas concert. They have been preparing for weeks and they are really excited to share it with us. It really is a privilege to be able to attend events like these. I love watching the kids perform and seeing the joy on their faces when they see familiar faces in the audience. Such a fun time!
I also love Christmas time for all the traditional baking that we get to make and eat. We have several holiday baking favourites so I am going to share some of them with you. This one is a tried and true recipe that I have been making for a decade at least. The kids love them and they are always the first to go on the cookie platter! With a soft, peanut butter cookie topped with a Hershey's chocolate kiss...what could be better!
