This is another traditional recipe that we make all the time in my home. I
think that, more than any other cookie, this one deserves to be eaten while it is
still hot. Or at least warm. Especially if you add the optional chocolate kiss.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup peanut butter
1 cup butter at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
½ cup dark Karo corn syrup
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 ½ cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 bags Hershey Kisses (optional)
Blend the flour, salt and the baking soda in a separate bowl. Then in a separate mixing bowl cream together
the butter, peanut butter, both sugars, corn syrup, eggs and vanilla. Gradually add the flour mixture until it is all
incorporated.
Use a spoon to drop the batter in spoon sized drops on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in a preheated
375 degree oven for 10-13 minutes.
Optional Hershey Kisses method: Form the dough into small spoon sized bowls and roll them in some extra
white sugar. Bake them in a 375 degree oven for 8 minutes, remove them, and push one Hershey Kiss into the
middle of each forming cookie. Then bake for 5 minutes more, checking often to see that they are not too done. Your
oven may run hotter or colder than mine.
