So, I’m sure we’ve all had some peanut butter cookies in our lifetime. Personally, I was never a huge fan of peanut butter cookies growing up. Now though, I love them. There delicious.
But, do you know what make’s peanut butter cookies more delicious? Some sort of amazing chocolate smack in the middle that melts and become’s part of the cookie. There’s nothing better.
So, the cookie’s above are not normal peanut butter blossom cookies. Typical peanut butter blossom cookies are made with Hershey Kisses in the middle, but these were for a Valentine’s Day Party, so I used chocolate heart’s instead. But there great with Kisses too. I think they taste best with the Hug kisses, but you could use any flavor for a different taste an outcome.
The Cookie:
1/2 cup Shortening
1/2 cup Peanut Butter
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1 Egg
2 Tablespoon’s of Milk
1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon of Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Sugar for top of cookies
1. Preheat your over to 375 degrees.
2. Cream together the shortening, Peanut Butter, Brown Sugar, and Sugar. Add the eggs, milk, and vanilla and cream together.
3. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to mixture. Mix till it forms a stiff dough.
4. Shape the dough into 1 – 2 inch balls. Flatten slightly with your hand, and place on cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Sprinkle with Sugar and then cook for 12 minutes.
5. Immediatly after cookie’s come out of the oven place them on cooling rack, then place chocolates in center.
Tips:
If your making these for a party or event, cook them a couple hours before hand if you want to display them together. The chocolate melts, then hardens again so it will take awhile for that to happen if you want to display them nicely. If you want to eat them staighout of them oven though with the chocolate melted, there Amazing that way too.
