1 3/4 c. flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. shortening

1 unbeaten egg

Shape into teaspoon sized balls and place on greased baking sheet. Bake at 375\u00b0 for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Top each cookie with a candy Kiss, pressing down firmly so cookie cracks around edges. Return to oven and bake 2 to 5 minutes longer.
