Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies

Hey guys! Today I'm sharing my favorite cookie recipe of all time. I love desserts and baking and everything about the holidays (because it's baking season duh) and these cookies are no exception. I make these cookies multiple times during the holidays because I love them so much and I've made them so many times I remember the recipe by heart.

After trying a few other ones, this one from Taste of Home is definitely the best for this type of cookie. It's super simple. Like only 4 ingredients simple. It seriously takes like 5 minutes to put together before you throw them in the oven. This doesn't make a lot so if you want a bunch double the recipe!


This is what it will look like before you roll it into balls!



Ingredients


  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • Hershey kiss 

Yeah. That's it. Like are you kidding???? Who doesn't love quick and easy recipes like this. 

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉.
  • Cream the peanut butter and sugar. 
  • Add egg and vanilla and mix well. 
  • Roll into 1 1/4 inch balls and place on cookie sheet. 
  • Cook for 10-12 minutes until tops start cracking.
  • Take out and immediately press Hershey kiss on top. 

Well there ya go! Enjoy the best holiday cookies and don't forget to leave some for Santa! 

Also if you've noticed, I've been posting A LOT lately. Well you better get used to it because I'm going to be posting holiday themed posts ALL MONTH LONG!! Check back every Tuesday and Thursday and sometimes Saturday for a new post!

Devine Jayne's 25 Days of Christmas Movie List

Merry Christmas!!!!!!! I grew up watching Christmas movies every single year. I still very much enjoy watching the classics and even the cheesy lifetime/Hallmark holiday movies too.

Which is why this year, I'm sharing my holiday MUST WATCH movie list with you all! I've got the classics, some cheesy stuff, some TV show specials. I've got a little bit of everything on here.

I honestly can't get through the month of December without watching at least one Christmas movie a day.. in fact I may watch multiple a day.. and the same ones more than once.

Alright. That's enough about my Christmas obsession. Back to the movie list. I have 28 movies on this list so you can watch them all or skip some you aren't too interested in!

Here's the list! Merry Christmas + Happy Holidays ♡

Ho Ho Holiday Playlist

Hey y'all! Today is the first official day of the Christmas season which means it is now socially acceptable to start listening to Christmas music. Unless of course you're like me and have been listening since June. :-) hehehe

If you know me then you know that I love anything and everything Christmas. I decorate my house, my bedroom (keep those eyes peeled for a lil post about my holiday decor) and even my bathroom. I make holiday treats, I listen to Christmas music and watch Christmas movies all day every day. I just love it all so much. Now if only it snowed here so I could enjoy it even more.

So to get you all in the Christmas spirit alongside me, I'm sharing my Christmas playlist. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be listening to this on repeat and baking cookies! See ya!!

Enjoy these holiday tunes and get ready for all of my holiday themed posts coming next month! It's gonna be a busy one.

Cinnamon Apple Topper Recipe

Now I'm a big breakfast fan. I don't necessarily like making breakfast, but I sure do like eating it. This recipe is one of my faves for a quick breakfast. It can be used for many different things, but my favorite way to eat them is on top of oatmeal.

You could also use it on top of pancakes or waffles, ice cream, hell even throw it on top of a pork chop for some savory sweet goodness!

Here's the recipe.

Ingredients
  • 5 apples peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 
  • 1/2 cup tightly packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (you can just use nutmeg if you want)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Directions:

Before you start, make sure you mix all of the dry ingredients before hand so your apples don't get too brown!


Next you're going to peel and slice the apples and put them in a ziploc bag (or a container) and toss them in the coating you made earlier. Make sure all of the apples are coated. 


They'll look like this after you toss them! After you finish coating them, fill a saucepan with 2 tablespoons of water and 1 tablespoon of butter. Do this on medium heat. After the butter has melted a tiny bit I pour the apples in and stir. Cook them for about 10 minutes or until soft. You'll want to keep stirring every once in a while to make sure the apples cook evenly. 


Voila! Your cinnamon apples are cooked and ready to eat or ready to store for a treat later! I like to keep mine in a mason jar in the fridge. 

Now beware! Your house will smell INCREDIBLE while these are cooking. It smells like fall. They also are probably going to take more than 10 minutes btw. It's different every time I make them so 10 minutes it's just the minimum amount I would do.
