Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies
Description
This cookie recipe combines flour, baking soda, salt, and a mix of brown and white sugars with vegetable shortening or butter and creamy peanut butter. Eggs, vanilla, and milk add moisture and binding. The dough is rolled into balls, then a dent is made in each cookie before baking at 375°F until edges are golden.
Immediately after baking, a chocolate candy kiss is pressed into each warm cookie, allowing it to slightly melt and adhere. The outside is coated with granulated sugar which provides a subtle crunch and sparkle. The cookies have a slightly browned color, intensified if all brown sugar is used.
These cookies work well as a sweet treat for gatherings or holiday occasions, offering familiar flavors and a mix of soft and crisp textures.
Brown sugar impacts the color and flavor, giving a deeper tone and molasses notes if fully substituted for white sugar. The candies should be pressed in promptly after baking to achieve the desired effect.
