Peanut blossoms


We have had this recipe for years, courtesy of my sister Tania, but we only tried them this year. They are so yummy. They call for Hershey's kisses on the top (which are not available in Aus.) but I have made them with a peanut M&M in the centre which work out fine.
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 egg
2T milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
Mix above ingredients together, then add
1 3/4 cups pl. flour
1 tsp bi-carb soda
1/2 tsp salt
Shape dough into balls (about 1 inch), then roll in caster sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and squash slightly with palm of hand. Bake at 180 for 10-12 mins. Top each cookie immediately with a Hershey's kiss (or peanut M&M), pressing down gently but firmly. Cool on wire rack. Makes about 28 cookies.
