Peanut Butter Cookie With a Chocolate Kiss? Yes Please

As we go into the holiday season, I always think it starts when my kids get off school for their winter break, I want to leave you with the one thing I do think you should enjoy as a snack and have fun with during this break. I am going to take next week off from writing, so I wanted to go out with something short and sweet today, literally.

I'm not much for holiday food. to me it becomes redundant and boring. I have never been the biggest fan of the whole idea of "Thanksgiving" food. Turkey is wack. Ham is good in small doses. Stuffing rules, but mashed potatoes get boring. And I have never been the biggest bread person, so rolls don't move me. And this food tends to carry into the other part of the holiday season. I want more people to do what my buddy did and have pizza and wings during this time of year. But there is one food stuff that I go back to every year and find myself craving when the holidays roll around.

I have always had a sweet tooth. I think I got it from my mom. I always like dessert and if it is an option I go for it nine times out of ten. And during this time of year cookies flow aplenty. I love cookies. It is the best representation of a "light" dessert option for me. I can eat a snickerdoodle or two and be happy as a clam. Those are my favorite cookies, and during this time of year they seem to be everywhere, which I love. But there is one particular cookie that I know is a year round thing, but I only eat during these holidays. That is the peanut butter cookie with a Hershey's Kiss on top of it. It is the perfect blend of salty and sweet that I like. I like how the Kiss melts into the cookie as you eat it. I enjoy the fact that you are pretty much supposed to underbake the peanut butter cookie so the Kiss melts. I like how that heat makes it all meld together. When you are fortunate enough to get a perfect bite, that cookie can send you into another dimension. It makes me smile when I see them out on the table as a snack or treat. I try and make sure to grab a few before I know they will get snacthed up. And it is getting harder for my family to have those around because my daughter is still allergic to peanuts, and it looks like she will be forever. She has gotten over every other nut allergy she had but that one. And if you try to make the cookies with a peanut butter alternative, it just doesn't work. It's not the same. So when the actual peanut butter cookie with the Kiss is out, you better believe I'm going to take advantage. And this isn't even a thing that my Wegovy will stop me from overdoing. I will eat these cookies until I'm stuffed. That's how much I like them. And while the snickerdoodle and the shortbread with cherry jelly are finem, they don't reach the levels that this particular cookie does. I like all the sugar cookies that are around with the icing, but even those can get a little too sweet or crunchy. The good thing about the peanut butter cookie with the Kiss, there's never a problem. Even the ones that sit still have a great flavor because that just means that the extra time gave it more time to develop.

So go out and enjoy these cookies and enjoy your holiday. Be nice to everyone and have a good break. I'll see you all in a week.
