Kookie Kisses
Ingredients:
48 Hershey Milk Chocolate Kisses
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/3 granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Additional granulated sugar
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Unwrap all the Hershey Kisses.
2. Beat shortening and peanut butter in a large bowl until creamy and well blended. Add 1/3 cup of granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Add egg, milk, and vanilla; beat well.
3. Stir together flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually beat into peanut butter mixture.
4. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet.
5. Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
6. Immediately press a Hershey Kiss into center of each cookie; cookie will crack around edges. Remove from cookie sheet and cool completely.
Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
Not only are these cookies delicious, they look great too! The Hershey Kiss on top adds the perfect decoration to make stomach's growl from across the room.
I find that these cookies taste great right after they come out of the oven. The Hershey Kiss melts into the cookie and tingles your chocolate taste buds.
These cookies also last in the freezer. If you have lots of extras, stick them in a plastic bag and place them in the freezer. They serve as a great snack for later on in the future.
Last New Year's Eve, I made these cookies for a holiday party. Unfortunately, I did not have any cookies left over to save. These Kookie Kisses might get you a midnight kiss on New Year's Eve!
Try them out and share the deliciousness!
