Peanut Butter Blossoms




The spirt of Christmas is in the air!
Gina and I have decided to make our christmas gifts this year instead of buy them. Were very frugal... or at least Gina is. We made peanut butter blossoms for our neighbors and they were a hit. If you haven't made them yet this season then you should.

Ingredients: (makes about 50 cookies)

-1 3/4 cup flour
-1 tsp baking powder
-1 tsp baking soda
-1/2 cup butter
-1/2 cup peanut butter
-1/2 cup sugar
-1/2 cup brown sugar
-1 egg
-2 tablespoons milk
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-Hershey's kisses

Directions:

1. In a bowl beat softened butter and peanut butter. Then add the sugars and beat until fluffy.
2. Add egg, milk, and vanilla.
3.Add in the dry ingredients, flour, baking powder, baking soda.
4. Shade dough into one inch balls and coat in sugar.
5. Bake at 350 for 10-11 minutes or until the edges are set
6. Remove from oven and immediately place a chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie
( it helps to place the kisses in the freezer for a minute or two before placing them in the cookie, it helps them keep their shape. Once you place the kisses in the cookie don't touch them until they set! Otherwise they will turn into a puddle.)
