Peanut Butter Blossoms

  • 1 3/4  cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 48 (or more) candy kisses

Peanut Butter BlossomsCombine all ingredients except candy in a large mixer bowl (I use a kitchenaid mixer). Mix on lowest speed of mixer until dough forms. Shape dough into balls (using a rounded teaspoon). Roll balls in sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 12 minutes (bottom is brown, top looks like it did when you put them in). Top each cookie immediately with a candy kiss; press down firmly so cookie cracks around the edge. Remove from cookie sheet when cool.

These cookies freeze well in a ziploc baggie. Thanks to my mom for the recipe.

  1. Thanks for looking! And you can heat them in the microwave for about 15 to 20 seconds – the kiss melts…..tastes just out of the oven warm and gooey!
