Ingredients
  

  • 48 Kisses Hershey's Milk Chocolate (or other brand) unwrapped
  • 1/2 cup Shortening or sub an equal amount of coconut oil
  • 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 3/4 cup Creamy Low Sodium Peanut Butter like Jif Natural brand
  • 2 Tbsp Milk or use 1/2 and 1/2 for less sodium
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 & 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Low Sodium Baking Soda

Method
 

  1. Heat your oven to 375 degrees F
  2. Unwrap the Hershey's Kisses
  3. Beat shortening (or coconut oil) and peanut butter in large bowl until well blended.
  4. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar and brown sugar, and beat mixture until fluffy. We will use the other sugar to roll the dough in. 
  5. Add egg, milk and vanilla, then beat until well blended
  6. Stir together the dry ingredients (flour and baking soda) gradually  add to the peanut butter mixture. Continue to mix until the dough is complete. (If your dough is dry and crumbly, add a bit more peanut butter or coconut oil).
  7. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in a bowl of the remaining granulated sugar, and place on ungreased cookie sheet(s).
  8. Bake in the oven 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. 
  9. Remove from the oven. Immediately press a chocolate into center of each cookie; cookie will crack around edges. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool the cookies completely. Enjoy!
