The best Hershey Peanut Butter Caramel Kiss cookies

I am going to share this wonderful cookie reciepe that a friend had given me years ago.  I tweaked a couple of things in the reciepe to make it my own.  I use King Arthur All Purpose Flour. It makes a better cookie. I use a jar of FRESH peanut butter.  If you don't have one that is fine but again the new fresh jar makes a better cookie.   I use the hershey caramel kisses, because who would not want a cookie with peanut butter, chocolate and caramel.  For the pans I use the thicker baking ones or I will use a stonewear pan.  The stonewear pan seems to produce a cookie that stays moist longer. 

Sift:  3 1/2 cup flour    
         2 tsp baking soda  }Set Aside
        1/2 tsp salt
In a seperate bowl:
Cream:    1 Cup Peanut Butter and 1 Cup Shortening
Add:       1 Cup white sugar and 1 Cup brown sugar
Add:        2 eggs, 4 Tbsp milk and 2 tsp vanilla

Combine the creamed mixture with flour mixture and shape into balls. Roll in sugar.  Bake on Ungreased cookie sheet at 375 degrees for 8 minutes. Place the unrwapped hershey caramel kiss on top so the cookie cracks.  Return to oven and bake 2 to 3 more minutes longer.  Cool on a cookie rack and then Enjoy!
