Whole Wheat-Peanut Butter Blossoms
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- Chocolate kisses unwrapped
- sugar to roll cookie ball in
Directions:
Preheat oven 350 degrees.
In a mixing bowl cream sugar, shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar and egg until blended. Add milk and vanilla to the mixture. In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking power and baking soda together. Add flour mixture part at a time. This is a stiff dough so you may have to finish adding flour by stirring by hand.
Roll the dough in one inch balls, then roll in sugar and place on cookie sheet. Press chocolate kiss in the top of the ball. Place cookies one inch apart on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. The cookie will be set but not brown. Let cookie sit on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing to finish cooling.

I bought some a while ago that I only used a few times and the rest of the flour was lingering in my cupboard. I decided it was time to use it up. A little here and a little there in recipes and no one will notice. Thanks for your comment.
