Some Kisses for you!

Yes, I am giving everyone an early Valentine's Day present - kisses! So, enjoy! Oh, wait... it's actually the recipe to make Peanut Butter cookies w/Kisses on top! I think they are a great Valentine surprise for special friends, so I thought I would share. This recipe originated from Jean Wilks, a family friend. It is one of Dusty & my favorite cookies! I usually double the recipe and freeze half of them.

Peanut Butter Cookies with Kisses

Ingredients:
2 2/3 cup sifted flour
2 tsp soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
5 dozen chocolate Kisses

Sift flour w/soda and salt. Mix butter and peanut butter. Add sugars and beat well until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until smooth. Stir in flour mixture; mix well.
Using a level tablespoon for each, shape into a ball. Roll in granulated sugar. Place 2" apart on greased cookie sheet for 8-10 minutes at 375. Remove and press kisses on top. Bake 2 minutes longer. Enjoy! You can always use this recipe for plain pb cookies. Just press the top with a sugared fork and bake for 10-12 minutes. I like to stir in chocolate chips with this recipe... nothing beats peanut butter and chocolate! A great combination!!!!
