RED VELVET PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOMS RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375. Beat butter, peanut butter, & sugar in a stand mixer for about 2 minutes on medium speed. Turn mixer to low & add in egg, milk, vanilla, & food coloring. Mix for about 30 seconds to incorporate, then turn mixer to medium high, blending until light & fluffy. In a separate bowl sift cocoa, flour, baking soda, & salt. With mixer on slow, add flour mixture to sugar mixture & beat until just combined. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Pour sugar crystals onto small plate or bowl. Roll dough balls in sugar & place on greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes (Mine were perfect at 8 minutes). While baking, unwrap Hershey's Kisses. Once cookies are done baking, remove from oven & immediately press a chocolate Kiss into the center of each cookie. The cookie should crack around edges. Allow cookies to cool to room temperature.

PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOMS

Steps:

• Sift together flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. Using an electric mixer, cream together butter, peanut butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat until well blended. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing thoroughly. If the dough is very soft, refrigerate for about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray, oil or line a cookie sheet with nonstick liner and set aside. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. (For a precise number of cookies, divide the dough into 5 pieces, and shape each piece into 12 balls.)
• Roll cookies in sugar and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Bake until very light brown and puffed, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove sheet from oven and lightly press a candy kiss into center of each cookie, allowing it to crack slightly. Return to oven until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from oven, cool completely and store in an airtight container.
