do you like peanut butter and chocolate? sure you do. who doesn’t? i can’t resist it. i used to trade all of my halloween and easter candy for reeses peanut butter cups. move aside, charleston chew. no room for you.<\/p>\n

are these just peanut butter cookies with hershey’s kisses stuck in them? sure they are, but the sum is greater than its parts. it’s almost a reese’s peanut butter cup, deconstructed…and inside out..sort of. well, chocolate and peanut butter are a delicious combination anyway. these cookies could not be easier to make, and they’re actually fun too. next time i could try actually putting a reese’s cup in the center of the cookie, but dare i?<\/p>\n

one note of caution – it can be tough to store these cookies since they’re not easily stackable. and if you try to put them on top of one another in some kind of container, the kisses can melt and get squished. you have two options: either refrigerate the cookies after they cool on the sheet for about half an hour before trying to store them, or eat them before you get a chance to store them. i usually opt for the latter.<\/p>\n

peanut butter blossoms<\/strong>
\n another recipe from my mom! makes about 3 dozen cookies.<\/p>\n

1 3\/4 cup flour
\n 1 tsp baking soda
\n 1\/2 cup butter (soft)
\n 1\/2 cup peanut butter
\n 1\/2 cup sugar
\n 1\/2 cup brown sugar
\n 1 egg
\n 1 tsp vanilla
\n 2 Tbsp milk
\n 1 bag hershey’s kisses<\/p>\n

1. mix together the flower and baking soda in a small bowl. set aside.<\/p>\n

2. either leave the butter out to soften or microwave for 50 seconds. add peanut butter and mix until smooth. add both sugars to the butter mixture.<\/p>\n

3. add the egg, vanilla, milk, and finally the flour mixture to the butter and mix until combined. my dough seemed just a tad dry so i added maybe half a tablespoon more milk.<\/p>\n

4. roll dough into 1 inch balls and roll in white sugar until coated. place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375 for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

5. as soon as you take the cookies out of the oven, gently press a hershey kiss into the center. allow them to cool (on the cookie sheet if you’d like).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
