Serves: about 4 dozen
Ingredients
About 48 HERSHEY'S KISSES Milk Chocolates
½ cup shortening
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
⅓ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
granulated sugar (to roll in)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Remove wrappers from chocolates and set aside.
Beat shortening and peanut butter in large bowl until well blended and smooth.
Add ⅓ 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 this into peanut butter mixture.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls.
Roll in granulated sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned (check at minimum baking time).
Immediately press a Hershey Kiss into center of each cookie; cookie will crack around edges - this is normal.
Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
