Peanut Blossoms Kisses by Sherri

Ingredients

1 pkg Hershey's Kisses 1/2 cup shortening 3/4 cup peanut butter 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar 1 egg 2 Tbls. milk 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt granulated sugar

Instructions

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Remove wrappers from kisses.
Beat shortening and peanut butter in large bowl into well blended. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into peanut butter mixture.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned, Immediately press a chocolate kiss into center of each cookie; cookie will crack around the edges. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. Makes about 4 dozen cookies. (I like to freeze the kisses first so they don't completely melt on the cookies.)
