"Those Hershey Kiss Cookies"

Growing up my mom would bake all winter.  I loved those long, dark, cold, winter nights.   The wood stove would be roaring away and the smells from the kitchen were delicious.  My favorite smell was the banana bread.  The smell would fill the house and make your mouth water. 

If we were lucky Christmas Cookies would start on Thanksgiving Day.  If not the weeks to follow always had lots of special treats.  There was this old red rectangle Tupperware dish she would move the fudge and cookies too.  I would love to sneak into her room after school and sneak a cookie.  My favorite were these cookies with a Hershey kiss on them.  They were so addictive.  I would just take one so no one would know I had been there!

Over the years my mom taught me to cook and bake.  I remember asking her about those cookies with the Hershey kiss in them.  Then she told me how to make them! 

 

It is so easy.

 

1 cup of Peanut Butter

1 cup of sugar

1 egg.

 

Mix together.  Roll into balls and place on a cookie sheet.  Place a Hershey kiss in each ball and press down.  Heat the oven to 350.  Bake for 5 minutes.   Remove from the oven and leave on the tray to cool.  This is one time I do not recommend using stoneware, as it holds heat and the cookies will not cool.  I like to use a pizza pan.

 

Once they have cooled and are set they are delicious.  Once your family has these they will be requesting "those Hershey Kiss cookies" too.
