Louise Nelson’s Kisses Peanut Butter Blossoms

48 Hershey’s Kisses chocolates
1/2 C. shortening
3/4 C. creamy peanut butter
1/3 C. granulated sugar
1/3 C. packed light brown sugar
1 egg
2 tables. milk
1 teas. vanilla
1 1/2 C. all purpose flour
1 teas. baking soda
1/2 teas. salt
granulated sugar to roll cookies in before baking

Preheat oven to 375 F. Remove foil from Kisses. Beat the shortening an peanut butter in a large bowl until well blended. Add the sugars and beat until fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla and beat well. Stir the flour, baking soda and salt and gradually beat into the rest of the mixture. Shape the dough into 1" balls and roll in granulated sugar and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned. Immediately press candy kiss into each cookie. Remove to a wire rack and let them cool completely - as they cool the cookies will crack around the edges. If you are stacking the cookies, wait until completely cooled.
