Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. (3 minutes)

03

Step

In a large bowl, cream together the shortening, peanut butter, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until just combined. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and then roll each ball in the remaining granulated sugar to coat. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Gently press your thumb into the center of each cookie to create a small indentation. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. (9-11 minutes)

09

Step

Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the indentation of each cookie. (5 minutes)

10

Step

Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (30 minutes)

For best results, use a good quality peanut butter. Creamy or crunchy both work well.
If your dough is too soft to roll, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before shaping.
Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
For a festive touch, use different flavors of chocolate kisses.
If you want a flatter cookie, press down on the dough balls with the bottom of a glass before baking.

    I tried this recipe with natural peanut butter and it worked great! I did have to chill the dough a bit longer, but the cookies were delicious.

    My kids love helping me make these cookies. They're so much fun to roll in the sugar and put the kisses on top.
