Peanut Blossoms

 

1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups unsifted flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Sugar
Hershey’s Kisses (9 oz pkg, about 54), unwrapped

Blend shortening and peanut butter in large mixer bowl. Add sugar and brown sugar; cream until light and fluffy. Add egg, milk, and vanilla; beat well. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Shape dough into 1” balls. Roll in sugar; place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately place kiss on top of each cookie, pressing down so that cookie cracks around the edged. Remove from cookie sheet; cool on wire rack. About 4 dozen.
