CAPPUCCINO BLOSSOMS

Cappuccino Blossoms image

This recipe is from Southern Living and does not have eggs in it. I buy chocolate kisses when they go on sale after the holidays because once you unwrap them no one can tell if they came in holiday colors. You can substitute dry roasted peanuts or toasted, slivered almonds for the chopped almonds.

This recipe has been handed down through many generations of my husband's family. The cookies were always in his grandmother's cookie jar when he'd visit. Today, he enjoys them more than ever—and so do I. —Debbie Hurlbert, Howard, Ohio
