I think I need professional help!

So...

After a banner day of cookie baking yesterday, I set out to make the remainder of my Christmas cookies this morning.  First, I made a yummy batch of chocolate cookies with peanut butter chips.  Next I made a batch of batter for the peanut butter cookies with a hershey kiss on top, one of my DH's favorites.  I've seen numerous recipes for these, but I think I've found the easiest and yummiest one.  With one tray of cookies in the oven, I began removing the foil wrappers from the hershey kisses.  

Then it hit me, this foil would 

"look good on a card". 

I began unwrapping the kisses a bit more carefully because the foil is thin and tears easily.  When the cookies were all done baking with the hershey kisses placed on top, I headed to my craft table while they cooled and the kisses solidified again. 

I carefully spread out the gold striped foils.  Next I applied adhesive to a sheet of CS and attached the foils.

Cut to size, I embossed the foil.  

 

I thought this CTMH sentiment stamp was perfect for a card that actually smells like chocolate.   Won't it be great to accompany one of the cookie trays I distribute to my neighbors?

The unfortunate part of this story is that my brainstorm put an end to today's cookie baking. 

I'll enter this in a few challenges and then I'll share my recipe with you below.

Peanut Butter Kisses
1 jar (18oz) creamy peanut butter
1 1/4 c. granulated sugar
2 large eggs 
48 hershey kisses, unwrapped (9 oz bag)
Preheat over to 350.  Combine first 3 ingredients until well blended.  Dough will be sticky.  With floured hands, toll 1 Tbl. of dough into a 1 1/4 inch ball (walnut size).  Place 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake 12-14 minutes until cookie dries and starts to crack.  Remove from oven and immediately press hershey kiss into top of cookie.  Allow to cool on cookie sheet 1 to 2 minutes and then transfer to wire rack to cool completely. 
 

And now, I must finish addressing my Christmas cards so they can at least be postmarked before Christmas.
