Spruce up your regular peanut butter cookies this holiday with a kiss. Adding a Hershey’s kiss to your regular peanut butter cookie puts a completely new twist on the taste.
2) Peanut Butter Blossoms
Ingredients:
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup softened butter
1 cup peanut butter 
2 eggs 
2 teaspoons baking soda 
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour 
1 teaspoon vanilla 
½ teaspoon salt 
1 bag of Hershey’s kisses 
Start by mixing the white sugar, brown sugar, and butter together and then add both of the eggs and the vanilla.

Tip: Again, let the butter soften on it’s own and use a double dose of vanilla if you are using vanilla extract.
In a different container, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix it in with the other ingredients. Once the mixture is consistent throughout, add the peanut butter.

  Tip: If the consistency is loose, make sure to add in a little more flour.
Bake them at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 8 minutes or until the cookies are just about golden brown.

Tip: For this type of cookie, use a light colored baking sheet.
When you take the cookies out of the oven, the tops should be slightly impressionable. Press one chocolate kiss into each cookie.

Then put the cookies back in the oven for no more than 30 seconds. Take them out and let them cool before removing them from the pan. As they cool, the cookie and the chocolate will set and hold together nicely.

Tip: Put a slice of bread in this container to be sure the cookies maintain their freshness (Yochim, Beverly. Personal interview. 31 Oct. 2014.).
