Peanut Butter Blossoms

I have made these before and they are a fan favorite.  I tried them last year at Christmas, with chocolate cookie dough and candy cane kisses.  They were delicious!  After a trip to Hershey, PA this past spring, my love of all things Hershey remains steadfast.

48 milk chocolate Hershey's Kisses
1/2 C. shortening
3/4 C. peanut butter
1/2 C. granulated sugar
1/3 C. packed light brown sugar
1 egg
2 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 C. all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Granulated sugar

Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Remove wrappers from kisses.

Beat shortening and peanut butter in a large bowl.  Add 1/3 C. granulated sugar and brown sugar, beat until fluffy.  Add egg, milk, and vanilla; beat well.  Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into mixture.

Shape dough into 1 inch balls.  Roll in sugar, place on ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.  Immediately press a KISS into center of each cookie.  Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.  Cool completely.
