An easy cookie recipe!

I thought I might share an easy cookie recipe with you this holiday season. Last year, Frannie and I got together to make Christmas cookies to send to our husbands and friends in Afghanistan. She shared her Peanut Butter Blossom recipe that I have made many times since then. I actually made it a few weeks ago for Aaron to take to class. Men do like cookies!

I know the recipe probably sounds familiar. And I had made these cookies before Fran but she had a very quick and easy recipe that included Bisquick. I know right!? Bisquick? I don't know maybe that is how all of you have been making them but I had never heard of it. Trust me they are good!

So here is a recipe for Peanut Butter Blossoms:

Mix:

1 can sweetened condensed milk
2/3 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla

Add:

2 cups Bisquick

Make into small balls of dough. Then roll them in a little bowl of sugar, just enough to coat them. Once all the little cookie balls are on the cookie sheet, bake them for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees.

Once baked, top the warm cookies with Hershey Kisses. I am going to try mini Reese's Cups this year so hopefully Sydney (my crazy 6 year old niece who doesn't like most chocolate) will eat them.

I hope this recipe helps give you at least one short cut for baking Christmas cookies this season. Enjoy!
