Peanut Butter Blossoms
Do you want an easy, great tasting cookie recipe? Then you need to bake my favorite cookie, called the Hershey Peanut Butter Blossoms. I’m going to tell you what ingredients you need, how to prepare your cookie dough with those ingredients, bake and place the Hershey Kisses on your cookies.
First gather all of your ingredients needed for these cookies. You will need a bag of Hershey Kisses, creamy peanut butter, shortening, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, one egg, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Also, you need a large bowl, two small bowls, beater, two mixing spoons, cookie sheet, and a cooling rack. After you have gathered all these ingredients, and cooking supplies, preheat your oven to 375°.
Next you have to prepare your cookie dough. Put a ½ cup of shortening and ¾ cups of peanut butter into a large bowl and beat until well blended. Add 1/3 cup of granulated sugar and 1/3 cup of brown sugar; beat until well blended. Add one egg, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla; beat well. Take one of your small bowls and stir together 1- ½ cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt, then gradually beat this mixture into the large bowl of peanut butter mixture. Also keep a small bowl of sugar out to the side, (this will be used for later use). Now that you have prepared your cookie dough, its time to bake your cookies.
Lastly, roll your cookie dough into 1 inch balls. Roll the ball of cookie dough into your small bowl of sugar, until lightly coated with sugar. Place the ball of cookie dough onto the cookie sheet, about ½ inch apart from the other. Be sure your oven is preheated at 375° and bake for about 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. While you’re waiting on the cookies to bake, unwrap about 48 Hershey Kisses. Immediately after you take the cookies out of the oven, press a Hershey Kiss into the center of each
