Ingredients

  • 48 pieces Hershey’s Kisses Milk Chocolates unwrapped
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter creamy
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar divided
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 egg large
  • 2 Tbsps milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Remove the wrappers from Hershey’s Kisses chocolates.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the shortening and peanut butter until blended. Add 1/3 cup of granulated sugar and the brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Add the egg, milk and vanilla; beat well. Gradually beat in the dry ingredients.
  • Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in the remaining ⅓ cup granulated sugar, then place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake cookies 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie. The cookie will crack around the edges.
  • Immediately (and gently) remove from the cookie sheet and onto a wire rack. Cool completely. Cooling will take some time (at least one hour) as the Hershey's Kisses will be very soft.
