Peanut Butter Blossoms

Pillsbury

½ cup shortening

½ cup creamy peanut butter

½ cup firmly packed brown sugar

½ cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ¾ cup all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

Sugar

48 foil-wrapped milk chocolate pieces, unwrapped

HEAT oven to 375F. Cream together shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar and ½ cup sugar. Add egg, milk and vanilla. Beat well.

STIR together flour, baking soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture. Beat on low speed until stiff dough forms. 

There's a lot of scraping involved.


Shape into 1-inch balls. Roll in sugar. Place two inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

Such tidy cookies!


BAKE for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. 

Crackle!


Top each cookie immediately with an unwrapped chocolate piece, pressing down firmly so that cook cracks around edge. Remove from cookie sheets to cool.

Careful - until they've cooled down the Kisses can fall out.

My Rating: 4/5 "The classics never go out of style, and this cookie is a true classic. They're cute to look at and tasty to eat, plus they're relatively easy to make. Simple and satisfying!"
