Peanut Blossom Cookies

1 3/4 Cups flour
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 Cup sugar
1/2 Cup brown sugar
1/2 Cup shortening
1/2 Cup peanut butter
1 egg
2 TBS milk
1 tsp vanilla
48 chocolate candy kisses

Combine ingredients in large mixing bowl.  Mix at low speed until dough forms.  Shape dough into balls using a rounded teaspoonful for each cookie.  Roll balls in sugar.  Place on ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake at 375 for 8 - 10 minutes.  Top each cookie with a candy kiss.  Press firmly until it cracks around the edge.  Put back in oven for 1 minute.  For a variation use the same dough and place the balls in small muffin tins.  Bake for 8 minutes then place a small reeses peanut butter cup in the middle. This really gets people's attention.
