PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOMS

Recipe courtesy of Pam's Midwest Kitchen Korner

Ingredients:

1 cup shortening ( I use Crisco Butter Flavor)

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs

¼ cup milk

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

3½ cups flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

½ cup white sugar for rolling

2 (9-ounces) bags Hershey's milk chocolate kisses, (about 84), unwrapped

Method:

Preheat oven to 375°.

Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar, and 1 cup white sugar until smooth.

Beat in eggs one at a time, stir in milk and vanilla.

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into wet mixture until well blended.

Shape tablespoons of dough into balls, and roll in remaining white sugar.

Place cookies 2” apart on cookie sheets.

Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Remove from oven and press a chocolate kiss into each cookie.

Transfer to racks to cool completely, the kiss will harden as it cools.

Makes about 84 cookies

Enjoy!
