Peanut Blossoms

One of my FAVORITE cookies!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup shortening

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 egg

2 Tbsp. milk

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 & 3/4 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1 bag milk chocolate Hershey Kisses ( I substituted Kisses for Dove Heart Chocolates for Valentines Day)

Sugar (for rolling the cookies in)

Directions:

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cream shortening, peanut butter, and sugars. Add egg, milk and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients. Beat at a low speed until stiff dough forms. Shape dough in 1-inch balls; roll in sugar. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 for 10 to 12 minutes OR until bottom edges are golden brown and cookie is set. Immediately top each cookie with one candy kiss pressing down firmly so cookie cracks around edge. Remove from cookie sheet.
