HERSHEY KISS COOKIES WITHOUT PEANUT BUTTER RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Fill a small bowl with some extra granulated sugar. Set both the bowl and the baking sheets aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt, then set aside.
• Using a stand mixer (or hand mixer + large bowl), cream together vegetable shortening, butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium-high speed until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
• Stop mixer and add peanut butter. Return mixer speed to medium-high until combined, about 1-2 minutes.
• Drop mixer speed to low and mix in milk, vanilla, and egg.
• Keeping speed on low, quickly scoop in dry ingredients, adding about 1/3 to 1/2 cup at a time. Stop mixing as soon as dry ingredients appear fully incorporated in the dough. Remove bowl from mixer and scrape sides of bowl, mixing in any wayward dry ingredients.
• Using a 1 teaspoon cookie scoop, scoop out dough and roll it between your hands to form a ball. Drop the ball in the small bowl of sugar and roll to coat. Place finished cookie dough ball on prepared baking sheet. Repeat this step until all dough has been used.
• Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the bottoms of the cookies begin to turn a light golden color.
• Remove cookies from oven and immediately press a Hershey kiss in the middle of each cookie. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
• Serve cookies immediately or store cookies in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375° and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. In small bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.  In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter and peanut butter until smooth. Add sugars and beat until light in color and fluffy. Beat in egg, then add milk and vanilla and mix until combined. Gradually add flour mixture, stirring on low, until just combined.  Roll a tablespoonful of cookie dough into a ball, then roll in sugar. Place on baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough, spacing cookies at least 2” apart.  Bake until cookies have poofed and no longer look raw, about 8 to 10 minutes. (They won’t brown!) Immediately top with Hershey Kisses before serving.
