Peanut Butter Cookies

We do a lot of baking around here and even more during Christmas. The kids love baking and Rebecca is the queen of it. We have this awesome kids’ cookbook from Paula Deen. I pretty much let Rebecca loose and off she goes.Thomas is plotting something. Perhaps he is thinking of stealing a little cookie dough or chocolate. I have no idea what Rebecca put in the dough mixture. Hopefully she read the directions right. I think baking makes for a good lesson in fractions.Elizabeth magically appeared with a spoonful of peanut butter. She might have a pretty nice and generous older sister.Did you know that during the holidays there are special Hershey’s Kisses? Carmel filled. Mmmm…While the cookies bake we unwrapped a ton of kisses. Pure milk chocolate. Who can resist?Thomas either wants to help or wants to steal some chocolate. He actually did both.

Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 large egg
• 1 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 30 or so Hershey Kisses unwrapped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Crack egg into small bowl. Add peanut butter and sugar. Beat with mixer. Scrape sides of the bowl and mix again. Shape the dough into small balls and roll them in the palms of your clean hands. Put cookies about 1 inch apart. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove cookies from oven. Place a Hershey’s kiss in the middle of each cookie right away.
