Classic peanut butter blossom cookies are a favorite holiday recipe. The combination of chewy peanut butter cookie and chocolate kisses make this Christmas cookie recipe one that you'll make time and time again.
Cream shortening and peanut butter in large mixing bowl. Gradually add 1/2 cup white sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat well.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, soda, and salt; add to creamed mixture.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and then roll in 1/4 cup white sugar. Place 2 inches apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes. Remove from oven; press a chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie. Return to oven for an additional 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove cookies to a rack to cool completely.
