For the Love of Peanut Butter

Confession: I've got an unfathomable love for peanut butter. 

 

A friend of mine (who thinks he will be able to create a better pie than me in a pie bake off) asked me if I had ever made Peanut Butter Blossoms... I didn't know what he was talking about but once he described them, I knew exactly what he was talking about! Since I am a huge fan of peanut butter, I decided to try em out. 

Now for the Peanut Buttery Goodness!

The only ingredient that I didn't have on hand in my pantry was the Hershey's Kisses, but that wasn't going to stop me so I made a quick trip to the store to get some.

 Mixed the ingredients in my Pretty in Pink KitchenAid Mixer

- which I've decided needs to be magically turned into an industrial size mixer! -

The dough gets scooped into 1 inch balls [mine were a bit bigger than that] and then rolled in some sugar.

After baking for about 12 minutes, you immediately press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of the cookie (don't be afraid of the cracking - it gives them character!)

 

If you are nearby my kitchen when something is getting pulled out of the oven, lucky you! You just might turn into my taste tester! Don't think you could complain and turn down a cookie that was just pulled out of the oven, along with the cookies friend... a cold glass of milk!

 

 Heck you may even get lucky either way and receive some via special delivery!

 

Hmmm I smell an idea baking - - - perhaps I should start a little game of "one lucky person a week could receive a box of goodies in the mail"! That could be fun (or tasty!). I'll have to ponder that idea... what do you think??

"After tasting this cookie I have decided that if you don't open a bakery I will then be forced to file a law suit against you.....for withholding deliciousness from the masses......"

Guess my first time making these was pretty successful :)
