Peanut Blossoms

Sift together 1 3/4 cup flour, 1 tsp soda, 1/2 tsp. salt. Cream together 1/2 cup shortening and 1/2 cup peanut butter. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar, creaming well. Add 1 unbeaten egg, 2 Tbsp. milk and 1 tsp. vanilla; beat well. Blend in the dry ingredients gradually. Mix well. Shape by rounded teaspoonfuls into balls. Roll in sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes.

Remove from oven and place a solid milk chocolate cnady kiss on top of each cookie pressing down so that thate cookie cracks around the edge. Return to oven; bake 2-5 minutes longer.

Note: A milk chocolate candy bar broke in squares may also be used. And, as it melts swirl it like frosting on the cookie with a knife.
