Peanut Blossoms
1 3/4 cups All Purpose or Unbleached Flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
Granulated sugar
48 Hershey Kisses, unwrapped
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Combine the flour, the 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the
brown sugar, baking soda, salt, shortening, peanut butter, milk, vanilla, and
egg in a large bowl at a low speed until a stiff dough forms. Shape into 1-inch
balls; roll each ball in granulated sugar. Place the balls 2 inches apart on
ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove
the cookie sheets from the oven and immediately top each cookie with a chocolate
kiss, pressing down firmly so the cookie cracks
around the edge. Remove the cookies to wire racks to cool.
