Grandma's Peanut Butter Cookies (Blossoms)

This recipe is WAY better than the Peanut Butter Blossoms recipe on the bag of Hershey Kisses.  Good cookies come from Grandmas, this time from the other side of the family.



Cream together:
1 c. shortening ( I used 1/2 c. lard and 1/2 c. butter or 1 c. butter)
1 c. white sugar
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. creamy peanut butter

Add 2 eggs

Sift together (only if your flour seems lumpy):
3 c. flour
1 1/2 t. baking soda
1 t. salt

Add the flour mix to the mixture.

Add 1 t. vanilla

Roll into balls (about the size of a quarter) and roll the balls in white sugar.

Bakes on parchment covered cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 8-9 minutes.  When just out of the oven, press a Hershey kiss candy in the middle.
