(NAPSI)-'Tis the season for holiday baking. A recent national survey found that more than 75 percent of respondents plan to bake holiday cookies this year. To celebrate this tradition, here's a festive recipe for chocolate lovers to ensure the season is sweeter than ever. Peanut Butter Blossoms Ingredients: 48 Hershey's Kisses Brand Milk Chocolates ½ cup shortening ¾ cup Reese's Creamy Peanut Butter 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar 1 egg 2 tablespoons milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1½ cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt Granulated sugar Directions: 1. Heat oven to 375°F. Remove wrappers from chocolates. 2. Beat shortening and peanut butter in large bowl until well blended. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into peanut butter mixture. 3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet. 4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately press a chocolate into center of each cookie; cookie will crack around edges. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. Makes about 4 dozen cookies. Though holiday cookies are a dessert-tray staple, festive baking extends well beyond the cookie jar.
