Peanut Butter Blossoms

A favorite treat at Christmas time and so easy to make! From Crisco found on Foodnetwork.com:

1/2 cup Crisco Butter flavored shortening

1/2 peanut butter (I prefer to use my favorite -Jif)
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
small amount of sugar in a small bowl (to roll the cookie dough in)
48 Hershey's kisses (Charlie likes me to use the almond ones) unwrapped

Heat oven ton 375 degrees, cream together shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar. Add egg, milk, and vanilla. Beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to creamed mixture. Beat on low speed until stiff dough forms. Shape into 1 inch balls, roll in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 - 12 minutes or until slightly golden brown. Top each cookie immediately with a chocolate piece, pressing down firmly so cookie cracks around edge. Remove from cookies and let cool.
