a Hershey’s kiss that is. Today’s recipe comes straight from chocolate-land itself…
When the kids were little we went to Hershey, Pennsylvania on a camping trip. When I saw this cookbook at the end of the tour I just HAD to have it.
It was my one big splurge of the trip. I remember reading it cover to cover for the whole 16 + hour drive home.
*disclousre* most of the family went….. we still owe a certain girl a trip to Hershey…. who’d have figured that SHE would be the biggest chocolate lover of us all?
This recipe was one of my favorites.
Peanut Blossoms
Peanut butter & chocolate. In a cookie. as they should be. forever and ever. Amen.
HOW could you go wrong?
trick question.. you can’t 🙂
Hershey’s kisses ( and someone to unwrap them for you).. on second thought.. get 2 bags. one for the cookies.. one for the cooks;)
1/2 cup butter; softened (recipe calls for shortening, but I always use butter)
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all- purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
granulated sugar
begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees.
then set your helper* ahem* Alison* to take this kisses from this form
to this form
In a large bowl, beat butter & peanut butter until well blended. Add 1/3 cup sugar & brown sugar; beat until light & fluffy. Add egg, milk & vanilla; beat well.
Stir together flour, baking soda & salt. Gradually add to to peanut butter mixture.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls & roll in the remaining sugar. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet or parchment or silpat.
Bake for about 9 minutes; remove cookies from oven
press a kiss down in the center of each cookie. ( the cookie will crack around the kiss)
Remove from baking sheet to wire rack to cool.
SWEET peanut butter & chocolate heaven….
Oh! Oh! Oh! Lookie what I found while clipping my coupons ( um.. I’m kind of a self-procailmed coupon queen)
now maybe I’ll actually remember it? let’s hope!
do any of you have suggestions for a particular kind of cookie that you would either like me to bake or research? I know I put the question out there awhile back, but alot has happened since then and I’m having trouble remembering…….
like the parchment paper.
