Chocolate Kiss Cookies

Happened to recently submit this peanut butter kiss cookie ;-)

Peanut Blossoms

Ingredients:

1/2 cup shortening

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar, plus 1/4 cup for decoration

1 egg

2 tbsp milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1-3/4 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 (9 oz.) bag milk chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease cookie sheets. In a large bowl, cream together the shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup white sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and stir in the milk and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl and stir in to the peanut butter mixture until well blended. Shape tablespoonfuls of dough into balls, and roll in remaining white sugar. Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to12 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into each cookie. Cool completely; the kiss will harden as it cools.
