Peanut Butter Blossoms image

This started as my mother's recipe, but I made adjustments over time to find the right peanut butter cookie base which is solid enough not to break but soft when you bite into them. These have been a family holiday favorite for many years, hope yours enjoys them too!

Time 4h25m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ cups peanut butter
1 cup shortening
⅔ cup white sugar
⅔ cup brown sugar
¼ cup milk
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup white sugar, or as needed
2 (12 ounce) bags milk chocolate candy kisses (such as Hershey's Kisses®), unwrapped

Steps:

  • Beat peanut butter, shortening, 2/3 cup white sugar, brown sugar, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until creamy and smooth.
  • Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Gradually fold flour mixture into peanut butter mixture to form a smooth dough. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Pour 1/4 cup white sugar into a shallow bowl. Scoop dough into 1-inch balls, roll balls in sugar, and place 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheets.
  • Bake cookies in the preheated oven for 6 minutes; rotate cookie sheets and continue baking for another 3 minutes. Press a chocolate kiss about halfway down in the center of each cookie. Bake for until chocolate begins to melt and lose form, another 2 to 3 minutes. Cool on wire racks until chocolate hardens, at least 3 hours.
