Peanut Blossom Cookies

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg

--Garnish
sugar
48 milk chocolate candy kisses
Preheat oven to 375 F.

Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup, level off.

In large bowl, combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, shortening, Peanut Butter, milk, vanilla and egg at low speed until stiff dough forms.

Shape into 1-inch balls, roll in sugar.

Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake at 375 F for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Immediately top each cookie with a candy kiss, pressing down firmly so cookie cracks around edge; remove from cookie sheets.

NOTE: I received this recipe from Donna Binder as part of my wedding shower were the ladies had pre-written recipes on recipe cards for me. This was such a neat idea and I still have ALL of them that I received that day -- more than 18 years ago!
