Peanut Butter Blossoms - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
36 Hershey chocolate kisses (carmel ones optional()
1/4 cup sugar, in bowl

Preparation

Combine shortening, peanut butter and 1/3 cup of sugar with the 1/3 cup brown sugar and beat well in mixer.
Add egg, milk and vanilla to the peanut butter mixture and beat well.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
Gradually add dry mixture to peanut butter mixture while mixing at the same time. Let beat for about 10 minutes. Mixture will get very thick and stiff.
Once all blended, using a melon baller or your hands, form small balls approximately 1 in by 1 in out of the batter. Roll them in the 1/4 cup of sugar bowl and place them on a well sprayed cookie sheet couple inches apart. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-11 minutes.
Place a kiss in the middle of each cookie pressing down gently. Cool and enjoy!
