  • 1 3/4 C. flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 C. sugar
  • 1/2 C. brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1/2 C. shortening
  • 1/2 C. peanut butter

  • 2 Tbsp. milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 48 Hershey Kisses
  • 1/2 C. sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine all ingredients except candy in a large mixing bowl. Mix on lowest speed of mixer until dough forms. Shape dough into balls using a rounded teaspoon full for each. Roll balls in sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 mins. Top each cookie immediately with a candy kiss. Press down firmly so cookie cracks around edge.
