PEANUT KISSES

Yes, these are the cookies with the chocolate kiss in the center.
1C sugar
1C shortening
4T milk
2 eggs
1t baking soda
1 ( 14oz ) pkg. chocolate kisses
2C brown sugar
1C creamy peanut butter
2t vanilla
3 1/2C flour
1t salt
white sugar ( FOR ROLLING )

Cream together sugars and shortening in bowl. Add peanut butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla. Sift together dry ingredients. Add to cream mixture. Mix well! Roll dough in to 1 inch balls. Roll in sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Just after removing from oven, press a chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie. Bake for an additional 1-2 minutes.

This is a favorite of children. Hope you get to try it. Jackie and I are so pleased to see that so many of you have visited us. Now is a good time to use that measuring cup tip we gave you with the peanut butter, also the shortening. The HOT water inside the cup will not hurt the recipe. Just pour out the water but don't dry before you add the peanut butter for easy release.

I want to give Jackie's brother Andy a BIG WELCOME TO SOUTH CAROLINA. I know he will enjoy his stay because Jackie will take good care of him. Later!

ABOUT US

Chris and I became friends over 20 years ago when we were neighbors in the Philippines. We were living there with our families because of our husbands' jobs with Westinghouse. In fact, we were next door neighbors on the compound that we lived in. After returning Stateside, we were lucky enough to have Westinghouse assign our husbands to the same work site. Our husbands are good friends, also. We enjoy each other and feel fortunate to be blessed with such good, loving friends in our lives.

We cannot take credit for the helpful hints, tips or recipes that we put in. These are an accumulation of ones that we have collected over the years and still collect. We won't mind if someone needs a hint or recipe that we haven't posted yet and they want us to try to find it for them. In fact, we would like the challenge!

Chris and I have always loved to collect cookbooks, recipes and hints. You would not believe the number of books and newspaper and magazine clippings that we have. Plus, Dennis, Chris's husband, loves to cook and has some to add to the mix. I know there are those of you out there that have the same sort of collection. I was getting ready to get rid of some unneeded things I have around here and get ready for my huge annual Thanksgiving event. I thought I would share this with "the world" and Chris feels the same way. (Her and I are so much alike, it's scarey sometimes. To our husbands, that is!) Plus both of us are Taurus! Chris might even have some decorating tips for you because she is great at that. That is something that just doesn't come to me and I turn to her.

If you would like to comment on any of our postings, please do. We would love to know who is reading them and if they may in some way be of help. Or just entertaining to someone. We would love to know what you think of our little project.
