Tea and Blossoms

   

Before my holiday ended, I wanted to be sure to post about one of my favorite holiday cookies.

  

I cannot remember a Christmas during my childhood without the homemade Peanut Blossoms.  (click here for the recipe)

 

When we were little my sister and I had the job of carefully unwrapping each Hershey kiss.

And shaping each little ball of dough;

 

Before rolling it in sugar.

   

  
My mother had the job of baking each batch to perfection,

Filling the house with the holiday scent of Peanut Blossoms.

As I grew older,
  

I held the tradition close.

     
Lucky for me, my son loves these cookies.

   

And they have become his favorite holiday cookie now.
    

In our extended family they are known as the “Christmas Kissy Cookies”.
   

And they are simply…delicious. (Especially with tea!)
