These were super tasty! Instead of putting the traditional candy Kiss in the center, we substituted heart shape chocolate.
PEANUT BLOSSOMS
Kisses or Valentine shaped chocolate candy
1/2 c. shortening
3/4 c. peanut butter
1/3 c. sugar
1/3 c. brown sugar
1 egg
2 TB milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 & 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. sugar
Heat oven to 375 and unwrap the candy. Beat shortening and peanut butter. Add sugar - beat until fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla. Sift flour, baking soda and salt and gradually add to peanut butter mixture. Shape into 1 inch balls and roll in sugar. Place on cookie sheet and bake 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately press chocolate candy into the center of each cookie. Note: Recipe said 48 Kisses, but I must have made mine larger than 1 inch as I only got about 24 cookies.
