heat oven to 375 degrees. remove wrappers from kisses. beat shortening and peanut butter in large bowl until well blended. add 1/3 cup granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat until fluffy. add egg, milk and vanilla; beat well. stir together flour, baking soda, and salt then gradually beat into peanut butter mixture.



shape dough into 1-inch balls. roll in granulated sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet. bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. immediately press a chocolate into center of each cookie; the cookie will crack around edges.
