The day after Valentine’s Day…perfect for using up (or buying) all the Hershey Kisses!
Peanut Blossoms
Ingredients:
½ c. shortening
½ c. peanut butter
½ c. sugar
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1 egg
2 T. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 ¾ c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
Hershey kisses (or other chocolate candy pieces)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F. In large mixer bowl, combine shortening, peanut butter and both sugars. Mix in egg, milk, and vanilla. In separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Carefully stir into peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated. Shape dough into balls and roll in additional sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and top each cookie immediately with a candy kiss, pressing down firmly so cookie cracks around edge.
