Vintage Peanut Butter Blossoms
Each cookie comes with a special KISS for your valentine
Peanut Butter Cookies
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cup sifted all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Thoroughly cream butter, peanut butter, sugars, egg and vanilla. Sift together dry ingredients; blend into creamed mixture. Shape in 1-inch balls; roll in granulated sugar. Place 2 inches apart (!) on ungreased cookie sheet (Line with parchment paper). Crisscross with fork tines. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. ***Cool slightly and remove from pan. Makes 4 dozen.
***Upon removing from oven, immediately place and unwrapped Hershey's Kiss firmly on the hot cookie.
This recipe was from a time when baking included presifting flour before measuring and postsifting to mix the dry ingredients evenly through the flour. I know we are all in a big hurry these days but including these steps seems to assure a more consistent end product.
