Peanut Butter Blossom Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom only of 9-inch square pan with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, mix cookie mix, oil, water and egg with spoon until stiff dough forms. Stir in Mini Kisses™. Press dough in bottom of pan. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of the sparkling sugar on top.
• Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until golden. Immediately top with unwrapped Kisses™ in 4 rows by 4 rows. Sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon sparkling sugar. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 1 hour. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows with one of the Kisses™ in center of each bar. Store in airtight container.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, beat 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the brown sugar, peanut butter, butter and egg with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon, until well blended. Stir in flour, baking soda and baking powder until dough forms.
• Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in additional granulated sugar. On ungreased cookie sheets, place about 2 inches apart.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Immediately press 1 milk chocolate candy in center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack.

Steps:

• Sift together flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. Using an electric mixer, cream together butter, peanut butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat until well blended. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing thoroughly. If the dough is very soft, refrigerate for about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray, oil or line a cookie sheet with nonstick liner and set aside. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. (For a precise number of cookies, divide the dough into 5 pieces, and shape each piece into 12 balls.)
• Roll cookies in sugar and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Bake until very light brown and puffed, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove sheet from oven and lightly press a candy kiss into center of each cookie, allowing it to crack slightly. Return to oven until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from oven, cool completely and store in an airtight container.
