Peanut Butter Blossoms
Ok, so I admit this was made directly from a recipe. I am not a great baker, so I must rely on step by step recipes for baked goods especially since you can seriously mess up your product with inaccurate measurements... I am definitely not known for my measuring abilities - when I cook it's just a little bit of this and a little bit of that... So here is the recipe I followed for these:
Ingredients:
1. Heat oven to 375°F. Remove wrappers from chocolates.
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.
And here is the end result! This plate shows two batches... Can you tell which side of the plate was in the oven 2 minutes too long? =)
