Peanut butter cookies with a chocolate kiss center.
Ingredients:
  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup shortening
  • 0.5 cup peanut butter
  • 1.5 cups white sugar, divided
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (9 ounce) bag milk chocolate candy kisses (such as Hershey's Kisses®), unwrapped
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.
  • In a large bowl, cream together shortening, peanut butter, 1/2 cup white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture until dough forms.
  • Form dough into balls and coat with remaining white sugar. Arrange cookies on baking sheets and create a small indentation in the center of each with your thumb.
  • Bake until beautifully golden, 9 to 11 minutes in a preheated oven. Take out, press a chocolate kiss into each dent, and let them cool a bit before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
