Peanut Butter Blossoms

These cookies are infused with generous quantities of peanut butter, butter, sugar, and tradition. We've made them by the Christmas cookie tin-ful ever since I can remember. They're classic, like the flavor combo they create. Forget the tree, the Christmas season doesn't really start until we've made our first batch of peanut butter blossoms.

These are the quintessential epitome of the Christmas season, even if the peanut butter chocolate combo isn't exactly super seasonal. But it is made seasonal by these cookies. Also peanut butter chocolate is ALWAYS seasonal.

Duh.

Chocolate Crinkle Candy Cane Kiss Cookies

WE'VE MOVED! Now redirecting you to our new page.

I think these have got to be the most festive-looking cookies I have ever baked. Just get a load of that cheerfully crinkled chocolate! Those bright red peppermint swirls! The snowy dusting of powdered sugar!

The recipe name has a distinctly festive ring to it, too. "Crinkle" sounds a little like "Kringle" as in "Kris Kringle" as in Santa Clause's hip nickname, don't you think?

Also, as an English major, I find it hard to resist a good dose of alliteration! Just like I find it hard to resist a good dose of chocolate - which this recipe has in spades!
