peanut butter blossoms

(a little maui vacation breakk) okay so i just made these yesterday. lindsey evans introduced these delicious and easy cookies to me a few years ago and ever since i've been hooked. if you're craving peanut butter and have hershey's kisses on hand, make these!

recipe
24 hershey's kisses
3/4c peanut butter
1/3c light brown sugar
1/3c sugar
1/2c shortening
1egg
2tbs milk
1tsp vanilla
1tsp baking soda
11/2c flour
1/2tsp salt

preheat oven to 375 degrees. beat shortening and peanut butter together. then add the sugars and mix until light and fluffy. add egg, milk and vanilla. then gradually beat in the dry mixture of flour, baking soda and salt. make one inch balls and roll into granulated sugar then place them on cookie sheets. bake for 8-10minutes. then immediately press an unwrapped hershey's kiss into each cookie!

these are from the universal hershey recipe on the back of any hershey's kisses bag or the internet. just type "peanut butter blossoms." a few changes i have made over the years are: no salt needed, i prefer not to roll into sugar (tastes better in my opinion!), small batter (only makes two dozen, and thats if you don't eat any of the batter haha) and cooks for 8minutes, no more! these cookies also store well and stay fresh for a long time. yummy.
