Peanut Butter Blossoms

long-time family favorite!

½ cup shortening
½ cup peanut butter
½ cup sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 Tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1¾ cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt

1 cup sugar
1 bag Hershey kisses

Cream shortening and peanut butter. Gradually add sugars. Add unbeaten egg, milk and vanilla. Beat well. Blend in dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly.

Shape by rounded spoonfuls into balls. Roll in a ziploc bag with 1 cup white sugar in it. Place on cookie sheet lined in parchment paper.

Bake 7 to 8 minutes. Press kisses into cookie so cookie cracks around edge. Return to oven for 2 to 5 minutes more, until the chocolate kiss begins to melt.

*can replace kisses with a chocolate candy melt if you need to easily transport these.
