Peanut Butter Blossoms
We make these peanut butter blossoms every year for our annual cookie open house. We make about 15 to 20 different kinds of cookies and have a four-hour open house with friends. We then prepare cookie trays to take to shut-ins and freeze the rest to enjoy all year long!

-
1 cup shortening
-
1 cup peanut butter
