Peanut Blossom Cookies (aka Kiss Cookies)

The original idea behind this blog was that I'd share a recipe I'd used that day. Yeah... Well, here IS what we're making tonight. Peanut Blossom Cookies, aka Kiss Cookies, or in my husband's case, chocolate star cookies. The name really gets it right, the peanut butter blossoms in your mouth alongside the satisfying chocolate crunch.

1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 egg
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp soda
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt

 Extra white sugar


Hershey kisses, chocolate stars or peanut butter cups


Combine everything except the kisses, blending at low speed.
Shape into balls, using a rounded teaspoon for each. Roll balls in white sugar.
Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and immediately top with kisses (or whatever chocolate) Press the chocolate until the cookies cracks.
Cool. Then eat. We like to keep ours in the freezer.
