Gram’s Peanut Blossoms
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon soda
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup white sugar for coating dough balls
milk chocolate candy kisses (approximately 48)
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine all ingredients except candy kisses and white sugar in a large mixing bowl. Mix on low until dough forms. Shape dough into balls, using a rounded teaspoonful for each. Roll the balls in reserved white sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Top each cookie immediately with a candy kiss. Press down firmly so each cookie cracks around the edge.
