Preparation

Step 1

DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugars until light and fluffy.

Beat in egg and vanilla.

Combine the flour, salt and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well (dough will be crumbly).

Shape dough into 1-in. balls; roll in additional sugar. Place 3 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.

Flatten to about 1/2-in. thickness.

Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until set and edges are lightly browned.

Remove from oven; immediately press one kiss into each cookie.

Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
