Peanut Blossoms III Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets.

In a large bowl cream together shortening and peanut butter; gradually add sugar and brown sugar creaming well. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

Sift together dry ingredients and add to creamy mixture.

Shape dough into balls using a rounded teaspoon for each ball. Roll balls in sugar and place on a greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Top each cookie with a candy kiss pressing down firmly so cookie cracks around edges.

Put back into oven for 2 to 5 minutes longer until golden brown.
