Peanut Butter Blossoms for a Big Holiday Batch
A personal favorite recipe for extra large Peanut Butter Blossoms yields about 84 cookies. The method mixes sugars, peanut butter, butter, and eggs, then adds flour with baking soda and powder. Balls are rolled in sugar, baked 8 to 10 minutes, then pressed with Hershey’s Kisses and cooled on a rack.
