Love this recipe, as I do not like the recipe with shortening or any recipe, so this is perfect. :)

I've tried several different recipes, and this one is ok, but but nothing like they taste when my mom makes them. My mom is very secretive about her recipes, but I finally got her to admit that she doesn't actually use a peanut butter blossoms recipe. She uses a recipe for peanut butter cookies, which results in a much richer, moister, more peanut buttery flavor. If you like really dense, chewy cookies, you'll likely enjoy my mom's method more than this recipe.

I place the Hershey kiss upside down after cookie comes out of the oven. The cookie doesn't crumble as much and it keeps the kiss on the top longer. Plus it makes travelling with them much easier.

I recommend you go 1/2 shortening 1/2 butter, all butter seemed to make the texture much harder. I just did heart shaped dove chocolates instead of kisses to make the valentine cookies.

I have used the stars as well on these cookies. I find them at Mills Fllet Farm. They stay on better. I find the kisses fall off.

This is the best yet. Makes ALOT of cookies

If you can find them, Brach's Stars are the best thing to top them with. Hard to find, though.

Thanks for the recipe... Now I can make these for my mom whenever I can because when my aunt Maria makes cookies for Christmas she puts them on a platter and wraps them and these kind are the only ones my mom will eat!!!! Thanks... Luv these...

Try putting a miniature dove caramel candy on top. Very good.

I typically roll my peanut butter blossoms in cinnamon and sugar before baking and after baking I put the Hershey hug or kiss in right away.

A rich chocolate fudge icing piped on is good when you don't have the "kiss"

Thesse cookies turned out AMAZING!! I loved them!! I put the kisses in about 1 minute and 30 seconds before they were done and they seemed to stick better. They turned out super moist and just plain delicious!!!! :):):):)

I find that using butter versus shortening gets me more compliments on my cookies. In fact my husband hates the recipe with shortening.

Try using liquid butter instead of reg. Its the fake stuff they use for frying. Awesome

I generally use both butter and shortening...I have read and found that using both keeps the cookies from flattening out too much...I do this for all my cookie recipes! LOVE...LOVE...LOVE these cookies...yummy!!!
