12 Days of Christmas Cookies Countdown Day 9- Peanut Butter Blossoms

This delicious number is from Baby Center (they have all kinds of awesome recipes-I definitely recommend checking them out.)

Peanut Butter Blossoms

1 3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup shortening or butter
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 egg
2 teaspoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
48 chocolate stars

Combine all ingredients except candy is a large mixing bowl. Mix on lowest speed of mixer until dough forms. Shape dough into balls using a rounded teaspoon full of each. Roll balls in sugar and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and top each cookie with a star, pressing it down firmly so cookie cracks around edge. Return to oven and bake another 2-5 minutes
