I brought my very favorite cookies to share with playgroup this week, explaining that we had a peanut butter surplus at our house.
“A peanut butter surplus? Is that even possible?” one of the moms asked.
Uh, it could happen… (chomp, chomp, chomp)

1. Heat oven to 375°F. Remove wrappers from chocolates.
2. Beat shortening and peanut butter in large bowl until well blended. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into peanut butter mixture.
3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet.

I love these! I don’t think I could find the Hershey’s kisses in the UK, although I do have some peanut butter.

Here’s the quick-and-dirty version:
1 egg
1 cup PB
1 cup sugar
Heat oven to 350F.
Beat ingredients, form small balls.
Bake for ten minutes, then remove and press kiss into each ball. Transfer to rack to cool.
I love these cookies. Ymmm … I may have to do some baking of my own today.

These are my all-time favorite cookies!!!! Thanks for posting. I don’t think I’ll be making them soon, as “the boys” don’t seem to let me eat too much sugary food. So I have two things to look forward to after delivery, drinking alcohol again (although not much, I will be nursing) and eating whatever I want!!!

Does that mean I win the whole batch? 🙂
