Peanut Blossom Cookies

Ingredients

• 1-3/4 cups flour
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 48 chocolate candy kisses, foil removed

Combine all ingredients except candy kisses in a large mixing bowl. Mix on lowest speed of mixer until dough forms, or mix together by hand. Shape dough into balls using approximately one rounded teaspoon for each. Roll the balls in granulated sugar and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in an oven which has been preheated to 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. When you remove the cookie sheets from the oven, press a candy kiss firmly into each cookie so the cookie will crack around the edges. Makes about 48 cookies.
