How to Make Peanut Butter Blossoms
Ingredients:
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Additional sugar for coating
48 Hershey’s kisses

Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 375 F.
2) Beat peanut butter and shortening until well blended.
3) Add both sugars, egg, milk, and vanilla and beat until fluffy.
4) Mix together flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat in gradually to first mixture.
5) Form into 1-inch balls, roll in sugar, and place on cookie sheet.
6) Bake for 8-10 minutes. Unwrap kisses and immediately press into cookie centers.

Notes: This is the original recipe that I sometimes alter. Recently I made slightly larger cookies and baked them a few minutes longer. You can also use butter instead of shortening. Butter will enhance the flavor, but shortening gives a flufflier texture.
