  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 9 ounce bags milk chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets.
  • Cream together shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar, and 1 cup white sugar in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in milk and vanilla.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into peanut butter mixture until well blended.
  • Shape spoonfuls of dough into balls and roll in remaining 1/2 cup white sugar. Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
