"The cookies were a smash hit. I put all of them out on a plate in the main chambers, and by the end of the day they were completely gone. I think I might get fired if I told you how many the Chief ate, but suffice it to say, he very much appreciated them."
Needless to say, this made my day (if not my entire life). So without further adieu, here is the recipe for one of the cookie varieties I shared with Judd. I am now calling these Supreme Court Cookies.
Supreme Court Cookies (Previously known as Chocolate Kiss Cookies)
1-1/3 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg, unbeaten
2 Tbs. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup white sugar (for rolling)
1 pkg. chocolate kisses
1. Sift together flour, baking soda and salt.
2. Cream together shortening, peanut butter, 1/2 cup white sugar and brown sugar. Add egg, milk and vanilla and mix well. Add dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Chill.
3. Using a teaspoon, shape into balls. Roll balls in 1/2 cup white sugar and place on ungreased baking sheet.
4. Bake at 375 for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and press 1 chocolate kiss on each cookie, pressing down until cookie cracks around edges.
5. Bake another 3-5 minutes.
