You know what’s great about classic recipes?  Everyone loves them!!!  They bring back memories of family, childhood, and baking cookies for Santa.  My friend Kelly made a classic recipe for the 2012 Cookie Exchange: Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies!!  They were definitely enjoyed by all!

Recipe: Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 48 unwrapped Hershey’s Kisses
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Additional granulated sugar for sprinkling
Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Beat the shortening and the peanut butter in a bowl until well-blended.
  • Add in the brown sugar and granulated sugar and mix on medium speed for about 3 minutes until fluffy.
  • Next, add in the egg, milk, and vanilla.  Mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Slowly add the flour/baking soda/salt mixture to the rest of the ingredients. Mix until well blended.
  • Shape your dough into 1-inch balls.
  • Roll the balls in the extra granulated sugar to cover the outside.
  • Place your balls onto a cooke sheet and bake for about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Immediately upon removing your cookies from the oven, press a chocolate Hershey’s kiss into the center of each cookie.  (The edges will crackle a bit)
  • Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for a couple minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to completely cool.

Kelly’s recipe used shortening instead of butter.  I’ve never baked with shortening before, but her cookies tasted good!  I usually use butter in my recipes.  What do you prefer to bake with?  Does it depend on the recipe you do?  Or can you substitute it in any recipe?
