PB Blossoms

My daughter had been asking for the peanut butter blossom cookies for weeks. She loved these cookies. I mean she loved them. The cookies had everything she loves peanut butter cups with peanut butter cookies. I thought I was making those rounded cookies with the kiss on top. The recipe I should have used was located on the back of the Hersey kiss package. Since these cookies were more flat, I figured I would top these with the heart shape peanut butter cups.
