Recipe: Hershey Kiss Cookies
From: Hershey’s; Start Cooking
Ingredients:
1 bag of Hershey's Kisses (will only use some of these, depending on size of cookies)
1 1/2 cups of all-purpose white flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of shortening
3/4 cup of creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup of granulated sugar (plus 1/2 cup for rolling the cookies)
1/3 cup of light brown sugar, lightly packed
1 egg
2 tablespoons of milk (I used skim milk)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Directions:
- Heat oven to 375 F degrees.
- Remove the foil from the chocolate kisses.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and the salt. Set the bowl aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together the shortening and the peanut butter until well blended.
- Add 1/3 cup of granulated sugar and the brown sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, milk and the vanilla – beat well.
- Gradually beat the flour into the peanut butter mixture.
- Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll the balls in the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar.
- Place the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. The cookie will crack slightly around the edges.
- Remove the cookie from the cookie sheet and place on a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
- The chocolate will firm up again once the cookies have totally cooled.
Yield: 3-4 dozen cookies, depending on size
