Peanut Butter Blossoms

Happy Friday YALL!!

We are officially on BREAK over here 

and we have LOTS to do 

before Santa arrives!

Today I am sharing hands down 

my favorite cookie recipe EVER.

Since I can remember my mom and I have 

been making these.

So the other day I went over to try and make them and I couldn't 

find the recipe she ALWAYS uses!

To the internet I went!
I found a few but this one stole the show.

Anything chocolate and peanut butter my family 

will eat so these are our GO TO 

Christmas Cookies!

Side note....these make a TON and of course I was in a hurry so I doubled 

the recipe....

Yes not the best idea when I realized the Yield was 80 and half

way done with the dough :)

To be honest though we got about 105 out of a "doubled recipe"

and it was just perfect!

Peanut Butter Blossoms

1 cup shortening 

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs 

1/4 cup milk 

2 teaspoons vanilla

3 1/2 cupa flour 

2 teaspoons baking soda 

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup white sugar for rolling 

2 bags milk chocolate kisses, unwrapped 

Parchment Paper

1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2-3 baking sheets with parchment paper! 

( I found parchment worked better than my silpat)

2. In your large kitchen aid mixer bowl, cream together shortening, PB, brown sugar, and 1 cup white sugar until smooth.

3. Then add 1 egg at a time, until incorporated.

Mix in milk and vanilla.

4. In a separate mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking soda and salt.

Gradually add dry ingredient mixture to PB mixture until fully 

combined. 

5. Shape about a tablespoon size of dough into a ball 

and roll in your second 1 cup of white sugar. Repeat until 

dough is all rolled.

6. Place cookies about an inch and a half apart. They will expand a little in 

the oven.

7. Bake in oven for about 11 minutes or until cookies 

have breaking lines on top.

8. Remove from oven and immediately put 

a kiss in the center of each.

ENJOY!

We find the best time to eat these cookies are when the chocolate is warm and 

just about melted :)

Hopefully you still have some time 

left to make these with loved ones!

I will be back a few days after Christmas 

and then a few days after the New Year!!

Peace & Blessings.
