How to Make Peanut Blossoms
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cream together 1 cup shortening and 1 cup peanut butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until well combined.
- Add 1 large egg, 1/4 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls.
- Roll each ball in 1/2 cup granulated sugar until fully coated.
- Place the sugar-coated balls onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and immediately press one unwrapped Hershey's Kiss onto the center of each cookie. The heat will cause the cookie to slightly crack around the kiss.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
