Peanut Butter Blossoms By: Leighann L.

Recipe Story

I am the program coordinator for the Boomer Esiason Foundation and through my work I have met many extremely inspirational individuals with cystic fibrosis. This recipe has been passed through my family and we always make them during the holiday season. We are able to enjoy time together making these cookies and we have a set "production line" around the table! I always make enough so I can bring them in to the office to share with my co-workers and friends with cystic fibrosis!
