Peanut Butter Kiss Cookie 2

This recipe is on BigOven.com here.  There is an alternate version on this blog, which blends a couple different recipes.

NOTES

1. Be sure the butter is softened ahead of time.
2. Grease the cookie sheets or use parchment paper. (The alternate recipe doesn't require greasing the cookie sheets.)
3. Unsure if natural peanut butter will work with this recipe.
4. This recipe will make about twice as many cookies as the other one and will need two 11-oz bags of kisses.
