Peanut Blossom Cookies
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00bd cup granulated sugar<\/p>\n

\u00bd cup firmly packed brown sugar<\/p>\n

\u00bd cup shortening<\/p>\n

\u00bd cup peanut butter<\/p>\n

2 Tablespoons milk<\/p>\n

1 teaspoon vanilla<\/p>\n

1 egg<\/p>\n

1 \u00be cups flour<\/p>\n

1 teaspoon baking soda<\/p>\n

\u00bd teaspoon salt<\/p>\n

Sugar for rolling<\/p>\n

48 milk chocolate candy kisses<\/p>\n

Heat oven to 375 degrees. In large bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar, shortening, peanut butter, milk, vanilla and egg. Mix until fluffy. Add flour, baking soda and salt. Blend at low speed until stiff dough forms. Shape into 1-inch balls; roll in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.<\/p>\n

Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 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. Cool completely.<\/p>\n

Yield: 4 dozen cookies<\/p>\n
