Peanut butter blossoms (recipe)

The weekend is almost here so if you are looking for a great dessert recipe that you can make for your family and friends, we have a suggestion for you: peanut butter blossoms. Not only these cookies are delicious but they are also very easy to make.

Here are the ingredients you need:

• 1 cup shortening

• 1 cup peanut butter

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 1 cup white sugar

• 2 eggs

• 1/4 cup milk

• 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 teaspoons of baking soda

• 1 teaspoon of salt

• 1/2 cup white sugar for decoration

• 2 (9 ounce) bags milk chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped

Here is how you cook them:

Grease the cookie sheets and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Start by creaming the shortening, the brown sugar, the peanut butter and 1 cup of white sugar until they are all smooth.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, and stir in the vanilla and the milk.

In another bowl make a mix using he flour, the baking soda and the salt and then stir this mixture in the peanut butter mixture you made earlier, until very well blended.

Make balls of dough and roll them in white sugar, placing them 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets.

Bake for about 12 minutes and after you remove them, press a chocolate kiss into each hot cookie.

You can serve them when they are completely cool. Enjoy!
