Peanut Butter Blossoms & Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

Growing up at my house, Peanut Butter Blossoms were made every single year. They are my Dad and I's FAVORITE!! I mean what's not to like....a peanut butter cookie, rolled in sugar and then topped with a Hershey kiss!! YUM!! Another favorite is the peanut butter cup cookies. MmMMmMm!!!
Let's get started!

First start out with unwrapping your Hershey kisses and Reese Cups. I used resse bells ;)

Mix up your peanut butter, butter, sugar & brown sugar

Once mixed, add 1 egg at a time and then your vanilla

In a separate bowl mix up your dry ingredients: Flour, baking powder, baking soda & salt

Slowly add your dry ingredients to your peanut butter mixture

 YUM!!!! Now start rolling into balls

 

Roll each ball in sugar and then place them on your cookie sheet

For the resse cup one: use the same method just don't roll in sugar. Roll them into balls and then place them in a mini muffin pan.

 

Bake the peanut butter blossoms for 8-10 minutes @ 350

Bake the Peanut Butter Cup for 9-12 minutes @ 350

As soon as they come out of the oven your stick a Hershey kiss right on top and then let them cool

 Same thing with the resse cups....as soon as they come out of the oven stick a resse cup/bell into the cookie and then let cool.

 

MmmMMmmMmmm!!!!!!!
