"Tiny Mini Kisses Peanut Blossoms"

"Tiny Mini Kisses Peanut Blossoms" are what these cookies are called. Kind of a mouthful if you ask me, but nevertheless, they are WONDERFUL! They're too good to keep to myself so I figured I should share the recipe! I didn't follow everything exactly, but they turned out very good! Enjoy!

Tiny Mini Kisses Peanut Blossoms
Makes about 14 dozen cookies - Ok... so this is what the recipe book says, but they want you to make tiny little cookies that are about the same size as Hershey's Kisses... that sounds like a pain in the butt to me! As you can see in the picture, I made mine bigger and it made just over two dozen. Not to mention, that even at the size I made them, it is VERY chocolatey (sure that is a word!) So, if you want to roll out 14 dozen cookies, go for it - but I wouldn't recommend it. :)

3/4 cup REESE'S Creamy Peanut Butter
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Granulated sugar
Hershey's Mini Kisses Brand Semi-Sweet or Milk Chocolates
- I just now realized this called for "mini" kisses... maybe that is why they expect it to make 14 dozen... I just used regular kisses. I don't know if there is a difference or not.

1. Heat oven to 350

2. Beat peanut butter and shortening in large bowl with mixer until well mixed. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat well. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat until fluffy. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to peanut butter mixture, beating until blended. Shape into 1/2-inch balls (or whatever). Roll in granulated sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet.

3. Bake 5 to 6 minutes or until set. Immediately press Mini Kiss into center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. (I didn't do that, I just let them cool on the baking sheet)
