Inside Out Peanut Butter Blossoms

Another that I made back in December. These were good, but I prefer the regular (not inside out) version.  7/10, as they got a bit hard after sitting.  Baked longer than recipe indicated.

Ingredients:

1 pouch (17.5 oz) Betty Crocker peanut butter cookie mix
vegetable oil, water, and egg as called for on the pouch
2 T. all-purpose flour
20 Hershey's Kisses, unwrapped
1/3 c. coarse sanding sugar

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 375°F.  Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, combine cookie mix, vegetable oil, water, egg, and flour, until a soft dough forms.

3. Make dough into balls measuring around 1 1/2" in diameter, then flatten each one out.  Place a chocolate kiss in the middle, then wrap dough up around kiss and re-roll into ball shape.

4. Toss balls in sanding sugar, then place balls 2" apart on prepared cookie sheets.

5. Bake for 8-10 min, or until edges are set (I think I had to go closer to 12 min).  Cool completely before serving.
