Mary's favorite family Christmas Recipe
PEANUT BLOSSOMS
1 ¾ c. flour
1 tsp soda
½ tsp salt
½ c. sugar
½ c. brown sugar, packed
½ c. shortening
½ c. peanut butter
1 egg
2 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
48 milk chocolate kisses (9 oz.)
Combine all ingredients, except candy, in large mixing bowl. Mix on lowest speed of mixer until dough forms. Shape dough into balls, using a rounded teaspoonful for each. Roll balls in sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Top each cookie immediately with a chocolate kiss and press down firmly so cookie cracks around the edge. Yields 48 cookies.

ReplyDeleteNow a days it is a trend to shop online.
ReplyDeleteOnline Gift Accessories
shopping can reduce overhead costs in a variety of ways, which can translate to lower prices for you. In fact, one 2004 study found online prices to be 6 to 16 percent lower than offline prices.
