1/2 c granulated sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c peanut butter
1/4 c softened butter
1/4 c shortening
1 egg
Mix all above ingredients. Stir in 1 1/2 c flour 3/4 t BP and 3/4 t soda. Shape into 1″ balls, roll in sugar. Place about 2″ apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes. Immediately press candy kiss firmly in center of each cookie. Makes about 3 dozen cookies depending on size of ball.
I found it best to have the kisses unwrapped BEFORE the cookies are done or the cookies cool off too fast.
