Oh! The Trials!

Amazing how difficult it is to peel an entire bowlful of chocolate
kisses without popping every third one in your mouth, even when you know
that they are for a good cause.

A good cause like peanut butter blossom cookies, being baked just for
fun and casual eating, as there is already a dozen sitting
double-zipper-bagged in the freezer waiting for the Christmas guests.

This batch is to help me survive an entire day in the house with my two
girls, all of us just sick enough to be whiney, clingy, tired snotty
messes, yet still in need of ample entertainment. There is little so
good as a peanut butter cookie (made with real, unadulterated,
trans-fat-free, chunky peanut butter and real butter in place of the
shortening) just cool enough to be picked up without falling apart, just
warm enough that the chocolate you've squished in the center is still
gooey-melty. And don't forget the glass of cold milk, please.

Cookies fresh out of the oven always make me feel better when I'm sick. Or just sick and tired. Which, now that I think about it, is pretty much all the time. Which, now that I think about it is possibly the reason I'm in WW now.

MMMM, peanut butter blossoms! Those are my favorite Christmastime cooke. I have no patience for unwrapping the kisses, and I like the chocolate just as well, so I usually use chocolate stars instead of kisses. I like that they're a bit flatter, too. I have a knack for not getting the kisses pushed into the cookie far enough, so they fall off too easily.
