There's not much to say about these cookie other than they are a classic holiday cookie and enjoyed by many!! There are many recipes around for these cookies. I have found one that I like the most from allrecipes.com. The trick to these cookies is to NOT over bake. And I like to place the kisses on the cookies during the last minute of baking to ensure the kiss stays on your cookie!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extra
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup white sugar for decoration
- 2 (9 ounce) bags milk chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
- In a large bowl, cream together the shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar, and 1 cup white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, and stir in the milk and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the peanut butter mixture until well blended. Shape tablespoonfuls of dough into balls, and roll in remaining white sugar. Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake for 8 to 9 minutes. Remove cookie sheet from oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into each cookie. Place cookie sheet back in the oven and bake 1 more minute. Remove from oven, and Allow to cool completely; the kiss will harden as it cools. Note: Placing the kisses on the cookies during the last minute of baking will help keep the kisses attached to the cookies. The kisses will harden as they cool.
Enjoy!

The directions call for milk, but the ingredients do not indicate how much the recipe calls for. Can you tell us how much milk to add?
