Peanut Butter Blossoms

Preheat oven to 350*.

1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • (The organic variety does not work well here. Neither does the low-fat version. Just use the inexpensive, store brand that does not separate in the jar.)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
Hersey chocolate kisses
Additional sugar for rolling balls.

Cream together peanut butter, sugars, vanilla, and egg, until mixture is creamy and smooth. add baking soda and salt. (Really, there is NO flour.) Roll walnut-sized balls of dough. Roll the dough balls in sugar. Bake on a sheet at 350* for 8-10 minutes.
The cookies will be very soft as they come out of the oven. Top each cookie with an unwrapped chocolate kiss while it is still hot, soft, and pliable. Remove cookies from sheet after 10-15 minutes, or after the cookie has set.
These are always a hit! They look good, taste good, and are very easy.
