Peanut Butter Blossoms

Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 T milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 36 Hershey kisses, unwrapped

Preparation: Blend dry ingredients in bowl. Cream shortening and peanut butter in large bowl. Gradually add sugars. Stir in egg, milk, and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients.

Shape into rounded balls and roll in sugar. Bake at 375 degrees on ungreased cookie sheet for 8 minutes. Remove from oven, place a kiss on top of each cookie, pressing down so cookie cracks around the edge. Bake for another 2-5 minutes. (stand at oven door and watch – the tips of the kisses burn easily – better to be underdone and chewy).

Makes: 36 cookies
