Peanut Blossoms

There aren’t a whole lot of peanut butter cookies out there that I love. I always hated the dry texture that usually came with them. This recipe is soft and moist. I love to eat all around the kiss and save that bite for last. Syd makes the best treats. You’ll love these!

1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 whole eggs
3-1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon vanilla
1 bag Hershey kisses (need about 35)

Preheat oven to 375*. Cream butter, peanut butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add eggs and mix. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Using a cookie scoop as a measure, make balls and roll. Then, roll balls in sugar. You can flatten them a bit if you like. Bake for 8 minutes.
Take pan out of oven and press a kiss in the center. Put back in oven for 1 minute. Take out and let cool. Keep in airtight container.
