Recipe(tried): Peanut Butter Blossoms

Thanks AJ for posting the recipe. the cappucino flats sound really good. I love anything with coffee- last Christmas I even made tiramisu. My favorite cookie recipe is peanut butter blossoms which I make every year. The recipe comes from Better Homes & Gardens

PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOMS

1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1 egg
2 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
milk chocolate kisses

In a large mixing bowl beat the shortening and peanut butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add the 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar. baking powder and baking soda. Beat till combined, scraping the sides of the bowl. Beat in egg, milk, vanilla till combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in the remaining flour.

Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Roll the balls in the 1/4 granulated sugar. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 10-12 minutes or till edges are firm and bottoms are lightly browned. Immediately press a chocolate kiss into each cookie's center. Transfer cookies to a wire rack, let cool.
