Peanut Blossom Cookies


I usually make these around the holidays...I don't know why! They're so easy and delicious. Try making them with different flavored kisses - I use caramel filled. Also, if you are transporting them, stick the kiss in upside-down so the tops don't get smashed.

Peanut Blossoms

1 bag Hershey kisses w/caramel, unwrapped
1/2 c. shortening
3/4 c. creamy peanut butter
1/3 c. sugar
1/3 c. brown sugar
1 egg + 2 T. milk
1 t. vanilla
1 1/2 c. flour
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
sugar, for rolling

Beat shortening and peanut butter in large bowl until smooth. Add sugars and beat until fluffy. Add egg + milk and vanilla. Stir flour, baking soda, and salt in small bowl and gradually beat into peanut butter mixture. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in sugar and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes. Take out of the oven and immediately press caramel kiss in center of each cookie. Cool on wire rack. (Makes about 36 cookies)
