Ok...EVERYONE has had this cookie. This recipe makes 7 dozen and is pretty true to the amount. The worst part of making this one is unwrapping the Hershey Kisses. I wish you could buy them bulk and UNWRAPPED!!! :) Helpful hint...make early in the day as it takes FOREVER for the kiss to firm up once added to the cookie.
This came from a good friend, Kay Magnin, who I worked with many years ago at the VA Hospital in Madison.
Peanut Blossoms
1 C solid vegetable shortening
1 C peanut butter (usually creamy)
1 C granulated sugar
1 C brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 C milk
3 1/2 C flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 9oz bags of Hershey Kisses
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and peanut butter. Add sugars, eggs and milk...mix well. Add vanilla and mix again.
Sift together the dry ingredients (flour, soda, salt) and add to creamy mixture. Shape into 1 tsp size balls of dough. Coat in granulated sugar and place on greased cookie sheet (or do like me and use ungreased parchment paper). Bake 10-12 minutes or until brown. Remove from oven and press chocolate kiss into each cookie. Allow to cool completely.
