Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies

Preparation:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

You will need a large mixing bowl, a one cup plus a 1/4 cup measuring cup, a teaspoon plus a 1/2 teaspoon, a spoon, lightly greased cookie sheets, a wire rack and an air tight container.

Gather Your Ingredients:

Make sure you have everything before you begin.

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup butter or margarine
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• Dash of salt
• 1 (14 oz) pkg. Hershey's kisses

Creating Your Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies Masterpiece:

1. Cream together sugars and butter until well blended.
   
2. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition then add the vanilla.
3. Mix flour and baking soda together and add to sugar mixture.
   
4. Gradually add peanut butter to dry ingredients until well blended.


5. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place them on the cookie sheets.
6. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Let the cookies cool for 2-3 minutes and then press chocolate kisses on each cookie.
8. Remove cookies and cool on wire rack.

Store these Blossom Cookies in an air tight container and they should last about a week.

I found adding the kisses as soon as the cookies came out of the oven just melted them. They tasted awesome but looked like a pool of chocolate in the center of the cookie, as you can tell in the picture below.
