Quick and easy Peanut Butter Blossoms

Some of you may recognize the cookie part to be the same as these peanut butter cookies. However this recipe was sent to me from my Aunt and has a little twist from the other cookie. I made mine a little bigger so only got 27 cookies. Easy and so fun. Hope you enjoy!


Ingredients:
1 egg, beaten
1 cup granulated sugar.
1 cup peanut butter, smooth or chunky
1 bag Hershey Kisses

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350
(Unwrap enough kisses for expected number of cookies.)

Mix the sugar into the beaten egg. Mix well to dissolve sugar. Fold in
peanut butter.
Egg mixture consistency is moist and sticky but will dry in folding process.

Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Remove from refrigerator and pull off small pieces of dough and roll into
marble size balls.
Place the peanut butter balls on dry cookie sheet.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and immediately add kisses by pushing a kiss gently into
center of cookie.
See below!

Different Alterations

If using dark chocolate kisses, gently push into cookie and let stand if you
want them to hold their shape.
If you want them to puddle, and have just the tip, put into oven for 10
seconds.
Dark Chocolate melts quickly and will not stand up in oven heat.

If using milk chocolate kisses, place a Kiss on top of each cookie.
Push them in slightly. Place back in oven for 15 to 20 seconds so kiss
adheres to the cookie.
Remove from oven and let cool completely on wire rack, or after cooling
slightly, place on plate and place in refrigerator to cool and harden
chocolate. Milk chocolate Hershey kisses will keep their shape.

(OR for plain PB cookies, Flatten unbaked dough with criss cross pattern
with fork dipped repeatedly into small cup of granulated sugar While on
cookie sheet and before baking)
Makes 45 small cookies
