Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies

This is one of my favorite annual Christmas cookies.  And everyone else's it seems.





Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies

1 stick butter, softened
3/4 cup natural peanut butter
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp sugar (for rolling)
1 package Hershey's Kisses

Cream together butter, peanut butter and sugars.  Stir in egg and vanilla.  Gradually add in dry ingredients.  Cover with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for 4 hours.

Scoop and shape dough into 1" balls and roll in sugar.  Bake at 325° for 10-12 minutes.  Remove from oven and place a Kiss in the middle.  Allow to sit for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
