Mom's Peanut Blossom Cookies

As you can see from the last few posts, I'm revving up for the Christmas season with traditional holiday baking.  Typically, I don't do very much sweats baking.  This time of year, I pull out the stops!  Not only are these different treats my favorites for taste, but also the wonderful feeling of nostalgia that comes with each pan, as it's pulled from the oven.  The smells themselves bring me back to childhood, helping mom unwrap the candies, roll the dough.  Many, many fond memories...


Mom's Peanut Blossom Cookies
1-3/4 c. flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter
1/3 c. peanut butter
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
Hershey's Kiss candies (1 bag of kisses covers double batch)

Cream butter and peanut butter, add sugars, egg and vanilla.  Mix well.  Blend in dry ingredients, mix well.  Roll into 1-inch balls, roll in sugar, put onto cookie sheet.  Bake at 375° for 8 minutes, remove from oven, top each cookie with Kiss, return to oven for an additional 2 minutes.  Remove to cooling rack.  Makes 3 dozen cookies.
