Peanut Blossom Cookies
These are a staple around the holidays, and great for keeping the littles busy unwrapping the kisses and squishing them onto the freshly baked cookies.
1 bag (8 oz) Hershey's kisses (original or hugs)
1/2 c. shortening
3/4 c. crazy peanut butter
1/2 c. packed light brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 egg
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1-1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
granulated sugar for rolling cookies
Preheat oven to 375℉. Remove wrappers from kisses. Beat shortening and peanut butter in large bowl until well-blended. Add 1/3 c granulated sugar and brown sugar, beat until light and fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla, beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into peanut butter mixture. Shape dough into 1" balls and roll in granulated sugar. Place on uncreased cookie sheet and bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately press a kiss into the center of each cookie (cookies will crack around the edges). Cool completely. Make about 4 dozen cookies.
