Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets.

  2. In a large bowl, cream together shortening and peanut butter, gradually add sugar and brown sugar, creaming well. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

  3. Sift together dry ingredients and add to creamy mixture.

  4. Shape dough into balls, using a rounded teaspoon for each ball. Roll balls in sugar and place on a greased cookie sheet.

  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Top each cookie with a candy kiss, pressing down firmly so cookie cracks around edges.
