Peanut Blossoms image

A delicious peanut butter cookie topped with a Hershey's kiss. This recipe came from my childhood neighbor, Mrs. Virginia Texeira, of West Covina, California. (NOTE: "Bite-sized Chocolate Chips" are Food.com's way of identifying Hershey's kisses, which add 22 calories each.)

Yield 150 cookies (2/person), 75 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup margarine, room temperature
1 cup peanut butter
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
151 bite-sized chocolate chips

  • Mix dry ingredients (flour, soda, salt) and set aside.
  • Cream together butter and sugars,.
  • Add peanut butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla, and mix well.
  • Stir-in dry ingredients, and mix slowly until completely blended-in.
  • Unwrap Hershey's kisses, and set aside.
  • NOTE: The kisses are added AFTER the cooked cookies come out of the oven.
  • Pour some sugar into a cake pan or pie plate, for rolling the cookies inches.
  • Shape dough into balls (rounded teaspoonfuls).
  • Roll balls in sugar, and place on ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake at 375 F for 5 minutes, then turn pans, reverse positions, and bake 5 minutes more.
  • Remove pan from oven and top each cookie immediately with a Hershey's kiss. Twist it slightly as you press down lightly, to help it bond with the cookie.
  • NOTE: If your candy is discolored due to age, don't worry about it. They return to a consistent brown as they warm with the cookie and then cool back down & harden.
  • Leave cookies on baking sheet about a minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
