How to Make Peanut Butter Blossoms

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened shortening, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Add 1 cup creamy peanut butter and mix until incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with ¼ cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into balls.
  8. Roll each ball in ½ cup granulated sugar.
  9. Place balls 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
  11. Remove from oven and immediately press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie, gently pressing until the edges crack.
  12. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
