Peanut Butter Blossoms

This is a recipe that I have been using since I started really getting into baking.  It comes from the cookbook Christ The Redeemer LWML Cookbook.  It was a church in Wells, MN where I grew up.  The cookbook is dated 1985.  Now my daughters use this same recipe when they bake.  Why change a good thing??

1 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
additional sugar for rolling cookies into

Cream together peanut butter, butter, and sugars.  Add egg and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.  Shape into balls and roll in sugar.  Bake on a greased cookie sheet at 350 for 8 minutes.  Remove pan from oven.  Press chocolate kiss into cookie.  Return to oven and bake 2 to 5 minutes longer. 

Fry Sauce

There are many names for Fry Sauce. But since we really don't have a favorite we just leave it as fry sauce.   We have tried numerous recipes and believe this one really is the best.  I mean mayonnaise and ketchup - how bad can it be?

1 cup mayonnaise - Hellman's
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tsp. Freddy's seasoning
2-3 tsp. pickle juice

Stir together and put into refrigerator.  Great for fries or even on hamburgers.
