Perfect Peanut Butter Blossoms

Sìmple, classìc and ìconìc, these peanut butter blossoms are Chrìstmas bakìng at ìt's best! They are soft & chewy (and stay that way!), coated ìn crackly, sparklìng sugar, and have a chocolate Hershey's Kìss ìn the center of each cookìe. They are one of our all-tìme favorìte Chrìstmas cookìes!

Ingredìents

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup peanut butter

• 1 teaspoon bakìng soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructìons
