Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies- Valentine's Day Style


I took the classic peanut butter kiss cookie and dyed them hot pink for Valentine's Day.
I also added a "Hugs and Kisses" to make them extra special and cute. 

Ingredients:

* Hugs and Kisses chocolates
* 1/2 cup shortening 
* 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter 
* 1/3 cup granulated sugar
* 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar 
* 1 egg 
* 2 tablespoons milk 
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
* 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda 
* 1/2 teaspoon salt 
* granulated sugar

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Remove wrappers from chocolates.
2. Beat shortening and peanut butter in large bowl. Add 1/3 cup granulated and brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into mixture.
3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet.
4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately press a chocolate heart into center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely
