Barb's Peanut Butter Cookies

Yummy Holiday Cookies!

Peanut Butter Blossoms

Start with:
50 Milk Chocolate kisses
1/2 cup of shortening
3/4 cups of creamy peanut butter reese's
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons of milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 - 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Granulated sugar

Heat oven to 375 F, remove kisses wrappers. Beat shortening and peanut butter in large bowl. Add 1/3 cup granulated and brown sugar; beat until very fluffy.

Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat well.  Stir together flour, baking sod and salt; gradually beat into mixture.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls, then roll in sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. 

Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.  Immediately press a kiss into the center of each cookie.  Remove from cookie sheet to a wired rack and cool.  This will make 4 dozen, minus the ones you eat because you can't resist!  Happy holidays, Barb
