We like Peanut Butter in this family and my husband will actually eat one or two of these cookies if I make them (he is not a sweets type guy). I enjoy making them on the holidays as they are a hit with everyone who tries them.
This year I used Carmel Hersheys Kisses instead of regular chocolate, this added a new level of decadence!
1/2 cup Shortening
1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated 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
Sugar
48 Hersheys Kisses, unwrapped
HEAT oven to 375°F.
CREAM 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 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 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
TOP each cookie immediately with an unwrapped chocolate piece, pressing down firmly so that cookie cracks around edge. Remove from cookie sheets to cool.

These look great. I am always in the mood for a good cookie. Cake and cookies are my weakness!
I am the cookie monster in my house, but my family is not far behind. This is one of my favorite cookies. I made them once, but my kisses kept melting! I need to try them again.
Cheryl, the cookies look really delicious with chocolate decoration on top.
