Do I have a surprise for you today…delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Kisses Cookies. I made a couple of small changes to the recipe on the back of the Hershey’s Kisses bag, and they turned out perfectly!! They are soft, peanuty, chocolaty and really cute all decked out with sparkly sugar crystals and sprinkles!

Beat together the shortening, chocolate peanut butter, sugars, and egg until fluffy and creamy…..
Stir in the the flour, baking soda and salt until well combined…..
Scoop dough and roll into 1-inch balls…..
Roll balls in sugar {I used decorative sugar crystals and sprinkles}…..

Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, until set but not hard…..
Gently press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie…..
Remove from baking sheet and place on a wire cooling rack and cool completely……
