In a large bowl, combine shortening and peanut butter. Add granulated and brown sugar. Mix in egg, milk and vanilla. Add flour, soda and salt.

Roll into 1” balls and then roll the balls in a bowl of granulated sugar. Place on a non-greased baking sheet for 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown (I find it’s better to undercook so they’re softer).

Let them cool for 5 minutes and press in a Hersey kiss. I like to unwrap the kisses while the cookies are baking. You can add them earlier or later than 5 minutes, depending on how “melty” you want them to be.
