love baking for Christmas

I just made this recipe and if I do say say they turned out really yummy :)

I found the recipe online so I thought, hey it's a Saturday so why not do some baking for Christmas, 

Here's the recipe (the cool thing about this recipe is I didn't have to go to the store for any of the ingredients, I had everything right in my cupboard)

• 48 HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Milk Chocolates
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 3/4 cup REESE'S 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. 1 Heat oven to 375°F. Remove wrappers from chocolates.
     
  2. 2 Beat shortening and peanut butter in large bowl until well blended. Add 1/3 cup granulated 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.
     
  3. 3 Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet.
     
  4. 4 Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately press a chocolate into center of each
     cookie; cookie will crack around edges. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
     About 4 dozen cookies.
