Yield 7

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup shortening
½ cup peanut butter
½ cup white sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
14 milk chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets.
  • In a large bowl, cream together shortening and peanut butter; gradually add sugar and brown sugar, creaming well. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  • Sift together dry ingredients and add to creamy mixture.
  • Shape dough into balls, using a rounded teaspoon for each ball. Roll balls in sugar and place on a greased cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Top each cookie with a candy kiss, pressing down firmly so cookie cracks around edges.
  • Put back into oven for 2 to 5 minutes longer, until golden brown.
