A childhood favorite from Grandma's recipe box - Hershey's kiss peanut butter blossoms


Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup softened butter
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy is best)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • (White sugar for dusting)
  • Bag of Hershey Kisses
*****************************
PREPARATION
  • Pre-heat oven to 375ºF
  • Cream together the butter, peanut butter and brown sugar with a mixer.
  • Add the egg and vanilla, mix until combined
  • Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl and add to the other mixture. Combine thoroughly.
  • Roll the dough into small balls - a rounded teaspoon  Gram always rolled the balls around in white sugar.  It makes them really pretty.
  • Place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  • Bake for 9-10 minutes, the cookies will have puffed up and be golden brown.
  • Top each cookie with a Hershey Kiss, pressing down lightly so that the candy becomes part of the cookie
  • They stack well once cool and the dough also can be prepared ahead and froze.
