       Preheat oven to 375° F.  Combine flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, shortening, peanut butter, milk, vanilla and egg in a large bowl at a low speed until a stiff dough forms.  Shape into 1" balls; roll each ball in granulated sugar.
 Place balls 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheets.  Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove cookie sheets from oven and immediately top each cookie with a chocolate kiss, pressing down firmly so cookie cracks around the edge.  Remove cookies to wire racks to cool.
