Recipe Introduction

A neat twist on the familiar Peanut Blossoms!

List of Ingredients

2 1/8 cups flour, all-purpose
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 3/4 cups sugar
3 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 squares unsweetened baking chocolate
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 package white/striped chocolate kisses -- (14 oz. pkg)
(Hershey's Hugs)



Recipe

Mix flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl beat butter and granulated sugar with electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in eggs until mixture is pale yellow, then vanilla and chocolate until blended. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing just to blend.

Refrigerate dough about 1 hour. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Shape heaping teaspoonfuls dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Roll in confectioner's sugar. Place 1 1/2 inches apart on greased cookie sheets. Bake 8 minutes.

Remove from oven. Firmly press chocolate kiss (Hugs) into center of cookie. Return to oven and bake 3 to 4 minutes. Do not overbake. Cookies are soft when hot but firm and chewy when cool. Remove to rack to cool.
