Nut Kisses

1 cup sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 cup butter

1 cup peanut butter

2 eggs

1/4 cup milk

2 tsp. vanilla

3 1/2 cups sifted flour

2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

2 (13-oz.) packages Hershey Chocolate Kisses (with or without almonds)

Remove foil wrappers from Kisses.  Cream sugars, butter, and peanut butter.  Beat in eggs, milk, and vanilla.  Sift together flour, soda, and salt; stir into egg mixture.  Shape into balls; roll in additional granulated sugar.  Place each ball in a mini-muffin tin lined with muffin cups (or place on ungreased cookie sheet); bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.  Remove from oven and immediately press a chocolate Kiss into the center of each cookie.  Allow to cool completely.  Makes 6 to 7 dozen. 

For a quick batch of cookies, try this using 2 packages refrigerated commercial sugar or peanut butter cookie dough.  Cut each roll of dough into nine equal slices of about 1 inch each and then cut each slice into quarters.  Put a piece of cookie in each muffin paper and bake as above.
