Peanut Butter Blossoms are a favorite cookie of many, so I decided to give them a Valentine’s twist. I topped them with Dove Chocolate Hearts instead of Hershey’s Kisses! I can’t wait to take these to work for our Valentine treat exchange tomorrow! Are you baking anything special for Valentine’s Day this year? Leave me a link if you have posted a Valentine’s treat or meal already, and I will include it in a Valentine’s Recipe Round-up tomorrow!
Valentine’s Peanut Butter Blossoms
link at hersheys.com
Ingredients:
48 Chocolate Hearts
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup packed 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
Granulated sugar
2. Beat shortening and peanut butter in large bowl until well blended. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into peanut butter mixture.
3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet.
4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately press a chocolate into center of each cookie; cookie will crack around edges. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. About 4 dozen cookies.
