Heat oven to 375F. Combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, shortening, peanut butter, milk, vanilla and egg in a large bowl. Blend with an electric mixer at low speed until a stiff dough forms. Shape into 1-inch balls and roll in additional sugar.

Immediately top each cookie with a candy kiss, pressing down firmly so the cookie cracks around the edge. Remove from the cookie sheets and cool completely. Makes 4 dozen.
