Time 1h55m

Yield about 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter (8 tablespoons), at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus more for rolling cookies
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (see Cook's Note)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or paste
Nonstick cooking spray
48 milk chocolate candies, such as Hershey's Kisses

Steps:

Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
Add the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the peanut butter and continue beating until fluffy, 1 minute. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Position 2 racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets with nonstick spray.
Roll half the dough into 1-inch balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and then roll in granulated sugar. Place on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Chill the remaining dough while the first batch bakes.
Bake, rotating and switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are puffed and lightly golden, 10 to 11 minutes. Immediately press a chocolate candy into the center of each cookie. Let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 sheets phyllo dough
2 tablespoons melted butter
4 teaspoons parmesan cheese
4 eggs
4 teaspoons green onions, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper, to taste
4 tablespoons salsa

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease or spray cooking spray on muffin tin (4 muffins).
Place one sheet of phyllo dough on work surface.
Brush with butter and top with another sheet of phyllo.
Brush again with butter.
Repeat a third time.
Cut into 4 squares (about 4 1/2 inches each).
Keep the remaining phyllo sheets wrapped, so that they don't dry out
Place each sqaure into one muffin cup.
Using your fingers, make each square of dough into a "blossom" by crimping the edges together. In other words, you are making a dough square fit into a round muffin cup.
Sprinkle 1 t cheese into each dough cup.
Top with one egg (of course, you crack the egg and add the raw egg, trying not to break the yolk).
Sprinkle each egg with salt, pepper, and green onions.
Bake at 350 until pastry is golden (about 25-30 minutes).
Top with salsa.
