Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Sugar
1 bag Hershey's Kisses

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°F. With a hand or stand mixer mix together shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar and 1/2 cup sugar. Add egg, milk and vanilla. Beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt. Add to mixture. Beat on low speed until stiff dough forms. Shape into 1-inch balls. Roll in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Top each cookie immediately with a Hershey's Kiss, pressing down firmly so that cookie cracks around edge. Place on wire rack to cool.

You can also top them with mini Reeses cups.
