Peanut Butter Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies

 In honor of our giveaway winner yesterday I thought I'd post these yummy little numbers.  Once again an awesome cookie that I only privilege myself once a year at Christmas.  These are a good ol' Christmas cookie standby.  They are also easy & a good one to make with kiddos.

Ingredients
1/2 cup shortening

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

Hershey Kisses

Granulated sugar

Directions 

Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Remove wrappers from Hershey Kisses.  

Beat shortening and peanut butter.  Add 1/3 cup granulated and brown sugar and beat until fluffy.  Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat well.  Gradually stir in flour , baking soda and salt.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll in sugar.  Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for about 8 minutes.  

Remove from oven & immediately (& I mean IMMEDIATELY) press one Hershey Kiss into the center of each cookie.  Place on cooling rack & let cool completely.
