Peanut Blossoms

I'm not sure the origin of this recipe. I think nearly everyone in the 70's had a copy of this or a similar cookie recipe.   I have no idea why the recipe says "candy kisses" instead of "Hershey's kisses." Was there ever any other kind?

1 3/4 cup plain flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup shortening

1/2 cup peanut butter

1 egg

2 Tbsp milk

1 tsp vanilla

48 candy kisses

Yield approx. 48 cookies

Bake 375 degree oven

Combine all ingredients except candy on low speed until dough forms. Shape in balls and roll in sugar. Place on ungreased cookies sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes. Press candy kiss in each cookie.
