Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Preheat oven to 375. Remove wrappers from chocolates.

Beat shortening and peanut butter in a large bowl until well blended. Add 1/3 cup sugar and brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into peanut butter mixture.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls (I used my small cookie scoop from Pampered Chef and got exactly 48 cookies). Roll in sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet.

My mom makes these every year. She replaces half of the kisses with jam (whatever kind is in the fridge) just for me!

My son is allergic to peanuts and eggs. I read that you were allergic to peanut butter, do you by chance make these without the peanut butter? I’m trying to do the best I can at making christmas cookies for him, but it’s really tough! I mostly have trouble subbing out eggs in cookie recipes. I was thinking of just making these without peanut butter and subbing the eggs for applesauce to keep them moist or possibly just using an egg free choc. chip recipe and adding the kiss. Pretty sure it will fail, but I’ve gotta try!
