It's week two of the Twelve Weeks of Christmas Cookies and I decided to make one of my family's favorite cookies...Peanut Butter Blossoms or as my girls call them, Kiss Cookies. I love these year round but especially at Christmas as it is an easy and quick cookie and tastes awesome. I haven't tried them yet with my white bean puree, but I plan on it.
Enjoy!
Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies
(aka Kiss Cookies)
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
2 tbsps milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups AP flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
unwrapped Hershey's chocolate kisses
granulated sugar
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat shortening and peanut butter in a large bowl until well blended. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat until 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-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly golden brown. While cookies are baking, unwrap kisses and set aside. Once cookies have been removed from the oven, immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie; cookie will crack around edges. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
