Mom's Peanut Blossoms

It's just not Christmas without these cookies in the house

Sift together and set aside:
1 3/4 cups sifted all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt.

Cream together:
1/2 cup shortening (crisco)
1/2 cup peanut butter. Gradually add in 1/2 cup white sugar, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar. Creaming well. Add in:
1 unbeaten egg
2 tbl milk
1 tsp vanilla. Beat well. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients you set aside earlier. Mix thoroughly. Shape by rounded teaspoonfuls into balls. Roll in white sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and place on a Hershey's Chocolate Candy Kiss on top of each cookie pressing down so that  cookie cracks around the edge. Return to oven; bake 2-5 minutes longer.
