2 Tablespoons Milk

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.
2
In a large bowl, cream together shortening and peanut butter until well blended. Into that mixture, beat in 1/3 cup sugar and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly. Stir in egg, milk and vanilla. Set aside.
3
In a separate bowl sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Into the peanut butter mixture, gradually add the flour mixture, stirring until just combined.
4
Form dough into 1-inch balls (a cookie scoop makes fast work of this). Add the remaining 1 cup sugar into a small bowl and coat each dough ball with sugar.
5
Place dough balls on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart.
6
Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Upon removing from cookies the oven, press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie. Let the cookies set for 2 minutes on the baking sheet, then remove to a cooling rack.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
