Maddie's Peanut Butter Blossoms

I made these for Maddie's BD party where the theme was 'A Formal Tea'. All the little girls had on long, silk dresses and tons of make-up, jewelry, high heels, gloves, hats, etc., and my older granddaughters, also dressed up, served them on little china tea sets. This was the last family gathing my Momma attended, and she loved it. Maddie loved the Peanut Butter Blossoms, so I'd made a big batch. A friend of my DIL had brought her baby girl AND her entire adult family, and they stood over the tray eating the cookies till they were gone! The only blot on an otherwise perfect little moment in time these cookies always remind me of.
