Peanut Butter Blossoms…with a twist!!!

If you LOVE peanut butter and you LOVE chocolate, well then these are just the perfect cookies for you!! Of course I added a little extra twist…more chocolate…which means double the deliciousness!! I just could not help myself!! You know when you are eating a cooking and you save the best bite for last…aka the Hershey kiss, well why not have two amazing bites??!!! So, I doubled up on Hershey kisses and now every inch of these cookies are delectable!! I also made a half the batch with Reeses peanut butter cups as well for another twist…and omg YUM!!

I followed this recipe here.

Or you can follow along below as well:

Ingredients

• 1 cup shortening
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup white sugar for decoration
• 1 (12 ounce) bag milk chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped
• 1 (12 ounce) bag of reese’s peanut butter cups

**I used 12 ounce bags instead of 9 and only had about 5 or 6 extra candies.

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar, and 1 cup white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, and stir in the milk and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the peanut butter mixture until well blended. Shape tablespoonfuls of dough into balls, and roll in remaining white sugar. Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from oven, and immediately press a chocolate kiss into each cookie. Allow to cool completely; the kiss will harden as it cools. (The same goes for the peanut butter cup).

I hope your week is filled with double the love and a twist just like my cookies!!

Happy Baking!!!
