Peanut Butter Blossoms
by foodlikecake
I know, another peanut butter chocolate recipe, but really, is that ever a bad thing? This recipe’s a classic. A Hershey Kiss stuck on top of a still hot peanut butter cookie. Yum.
Ingredients: Cookies (from here)
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg, room temperature
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
*Extra granulated sugar
48 Hershey Kisses, unwrapped
Recipe: Cookies
Preheat oven to 375F.
Beat shortening and peanut butter together until creamy.
Whip in both sugars until lighter in color.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add, in intervals, to the wet batter.
Roll cookie dough into 1 inch balls and roll in granulated sugar before setting on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottom. Immediately press kisses into the cookies and cool. After five minutes, move cookies to a wire rack.
Enjoy!
The Classic – always a hit!
And it’s so tempting!
Thank you!
I really love the sound of these. Baking isn’t my forte though, I write fiction! đŸ˜‰

Peanut butter and chocolate 2 of my favorite things!!
Same here!
I like that idea! I can’t have chocolate, but perhaps a nice marshmallow pushed in the top would work! đŸ™‚
A marshmallow on tops sounds like it would be delicious!!
I think this was my first attempt to do something “fancy” when I was a youngster baker!
I’ve been using this recipe for years. Definitely some of the best peanut butter cookies ever!
Definitely trying this one! I’ve had cookies like this before, and they’re amazing đŸ˜€
So that’s what a Hershey kiss is. Heard them mentioned in films and books, never seen one before. Your recipe looks fab.
Everything looks so good on here!! I can’t wait to try this recipe.
Thank you so much!

Peanut butter and chocolate – a fab classic combination. Just think of Reese’s peanut butter cups. I am mad for them. Now I can whip them and indulge to my heart’s delight.
That would be amazing!

Thanks, Allie!
These look fantastic! Hersheys Kisses aren’t widely sold over here – are they just chocolate? Just wondering if any old chocolate would work as an alternative.
Any chocolate would probably work đŸ™‚ Hershey Kisses are just milk chocolate
Briliant thank you
These look amazing! Am going to bookmark this for when I surface from the Cake Book Challenge! Thanks for dropping by the blog and liking my challenge entry!

Reeses candy bars are my favorite so I never get tired of the two together đŸ™‚
These look great! This classic cookie always makes me think of Christmastime at my grandpas house. There were always peanut butter blossoms on the cookie tray and they were the cookies I’d reach for first! đŸ™‚
