Peanut butter cookies topped with a Hershey's Kiss. Pure bliss!
Makes about 48
1 bag (8oz) Hershey's Kisses
1 egg
1/2 cup shortening
2 tablespoons milk
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
additional granulated sugar (red and green is pretty)
Heat oven to 375F. Remove candy wrappers.
In large bowl, beat shortening and peanut butter until well blended. Add the 1/3 cup of granulated sugar and all of the brown sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to peanut butter mixture. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in the additional granulated sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately place kiss on
top of each cookie, pressing down so cookie cracks around edges. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.

Would make this again.
My grandma used to make these when I was little. This is the first time I've made them myself and they turned out great!! I think I made them a little big because I only got 36 cookies instead of 48...now I have a dozen unwrapped kisses that I've got to eat! 5 stars

My friend and I just made this recipe, and I have to say that it was really not what we expected. It was pretty dry, and I found that the only yummy part was the Hershey kiss. I don't know what I could do to improve the recipe, but I will not be trying it again. 1 star
