Here’s a holiday treat for you and yours (as long as yours aren’t allergic to peanuts!). These Christmas Kiss cookies are as much a part of our holiday season as trimming the tree, hanging the handmade stockings from Grandma, and… laying out the January issue of theHumm. Don’t forget to unwrap the kisses before the cookies come out of the oven!

Christmas Kisses

about 60 Hershey Kisses
1c white sugar
1c brown sugar
1c butter

wet stuff:

1c peanut butter (allergy alert!)
2 eggs
4 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla

dry stuff:

3.5c flour
2 tsp baking soda
dash salt

Preheat oven to 375F, put on seasonal music, and start unwrapping kisses.
Cream sugars and butter, combine and add wet stuff, mix well. Combine and add dry stuff, mix well. Shape into balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Roll balls in white sugar and bake for about 10 minutes (until light golden) on ungreased cookie sheets. Push kisses into the middles as soon as they come out of the oven. The kisses take longer to cool than the cookie part, so don’t stack them until the chocolate is firm.

Happy holidays from theHumm!
