Mistletoe Make and Bake Day Five

 A Huge Thank you to everyone for all of your sweet comments about my project yesterday.  Even with my 'techy' difficulties, you were kind and patient.  If anyone out there still needs my Cookie Tray pattern, Please email me at  quilts4julie@frontier.com and I will make sure you get a copy!

I will post my winner on tomorrow's post, since it is still Thursday where I live!


These are the Cookie jars that are on my kitchen counter.  I love the one's from the 70's.  However my super most favorite one in the entire world is the   one on the right.  It was painted by my youngest boy, Quinton.   It is the one we really use for cookies.  If you turn it around and look at the back, this is what you will see.

 
Quinton Stewart loves his mom, and her cookies as well.  5/17/97

This boy is now 25, he went to culinary school, is a Chef in a boutique restaurant in Seattle, Branzino.  He and his father, my DH, rode their motorcycles across the country and back last spring. 
I love this boy and his cookies, as well!

When I read that we were to write about a Holiday Tradition that we "had to do, no matter what"  I knew that it was the cookie recipe, that I would post today.  Even if the tree wasn't decorated, or if the lights were not on the house, there had to be Peanut Butter Kisses in the House!!
It doesn't matter who walks though the door, they all want my Peanut Butter kisses cookies!

This is your recipe for today.



PEANUT BUTTER KISSES

18oz peanut butter
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
48 Hershey Kisses (a 9oz bag has 53)

Heat oven to 350
Stir peanut butter, eggs and sugar until thoroughly blended.  (dough will be sticky.)

Roll Tablespoon size balls, place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 12-14 minutes. (cookie will be dry on top)

remove from the oven,  press the unwrapped Hershey Kiss in the center of each cookie.  Transfer from cookie sheet to waxed paper.  Cool and enjoy.!!

I have made these with my boys for their entire lives!  When they were really little, they just unwrapped the kisses. 
It was a big job for them and a joy for me.  Make these easy cookies with the children you love.  It will start the best memories, ever!

Today's designers are my good buddie

What fun cookie jars! And, such a handsome chef you raised! My son is not a chef, but, he is a very good cook (if he has the time). He is one to try this and that and throw in some of this, etc. and it always turns out really good. Thanks for the yummy recipe. I put Hershey Kisses on my grocery list. Will be making these for sure. Read you tomorrow on the last day of toeing. HUGS... and stitches
