Peanut Butter Blossoms

When I first saw a picture of these cookies I thought "I want to make those."

Then I made them.

And...meh. Don't get me wrong - this is a perfectly good peanut butter cookie recipe, and the chocolate Kiss on top is nice but...the whole package just didn't do it for me.

Have you ever made something that you had high hopes for that, in the end, didn't meet your expectations?
