Peanut Butter Blossoms

I love love love this time of year! I soooo enjoy baking for my friends, family, and neighbors. I made two batches of these bad boys and shared them with my loved ones. They were a hit! Who doesn't love peanut butter blossoms. I mean, seriously? I love these little cookies like WHOA!

1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and unwrap Hersey's kisses

* Hersey's instructs you to roll the dough in granulated sugar before baking, but I skipped this step. This recipe is supposed to make about 4 dozen, but I made my cookies a little bigger and got about 3 dozen. **
