1/2cupgranulated sugar, for rolling (additional)
Instructions
Heat oven to 375°F. Remove wrappers from chocolates.
In a large bowl, beat shortening and peanut butter until blended. Then, add in granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Add egg, milk, and vanilla; beat well again. In another bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually mix this into the peanut butter mixture from before.
Step 1: Scoop the dough into small balls. I use a cookie dough scooper to ensure that each ball is equal in size; I used a small scooper, which is 8'' long and holds 2 tsp.Step 2: Roll the balls in granulated sugar, then place them on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 8-9 minutes. Immediately remove from the oven and press a Hershey Kiss chocolate upside down (pointy side down) into the center of each cookie; the cookie will crack around the edges. Place back in the oven for another minute.
Remove from the cookie sheet and onto a wire rack. Immediately add sprinkles or decorations to the tops of the cookies; the chocolate is warm and melty and will hold the sprinkles.
Allow to cool completely and the chocolate to harden before you stack or store.
