Whether you're making peanut butter blossoms for or just a regular Tuesday afternoon snack, you'll appreciate this new version of the classic favorite. The combination of peanut butter and chocolate is hard to beat and they are popular in the South and probably most places. And these cookies are just simply fun to make and eat, also Hershey's Kiss peanut butter cookies are perfect for bake sales, snacks for kids or just your average snack or dessert. As parents we always think of good treats for our kids and there friends. If you can imagine making a batch of these cookies and taking them to a party, believe me your cookies will be gone fast and people will want to know who made them. I have some tips on making your own here's a few.

Combine cream sugar, butter, and peanut butter. Using an electric mixer, beat the peanut butter, egg and sugar together use a large bowl until well blended. Also stir together flour, baking soda and salt, gradually beat into peanut butter mixture until fluffy. If you want lower calories you can use smart balance peanut butter, available at most supermarkets, has a slightly oilier taste than most peanut butters. Did you know that Hershey's now sells unwrapped kisses packaged for baking, so you don't have to unwrap all the little chocolates the Chocolate Kiss comes wrapped in silver foil which need stored. While you make the dough and roll them into balls, press Hershey in each cookie and then remove them so when you bake it there will be no cracks in your cookies. Immediately place a Hershey's Kiss on each cookie and press down slightly. For the cookies to bake evenly, they all need to be the same size. You can add food coloring to the dough to create any color you'd like. I have made these cookies in red, green and blue. You can also divide the batter and make multiple colors for one batch of cookies. Experiment with the many flavors of Hershey's kisses. They make a kiss that has peanut butter right in the middle. These are a wonderful addition to the peanut butter cookie. Hershey's also makes kisses with nuts in the middle. This is a fun kiss to put in the middle of the cookies. If you make a them with different color dough, try the chocolate kisses that are part white and part brown. These cookies bring back such great memories! I do hope you enjoy version of this great classic.

Preheat oven to 375.
