Instructions
Preheat the oven and prep the baking sheets. Preheat the oven to 375°F and prep the baking sheets with parchment paper.
⭐️Mix the wet ingredients. To the bowl of the stand mixer, cream 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, brown sugar and shortening - about 2 minutes on high. Add the peanut butter, egg, almond (or regular) milk, and vanilla. Mix until well blended, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
1 cup shortening, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup peanut butter, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon almond milk (or regular milk if desired)
⭐️Add the dry ingredients. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix well.
Place the dough into the freezer. Cover the bowl of dough and place into the freezer for 15 minutes or the refrigerator for 30 min - 1 hour.
Roll the dough into balls. Place the extra 1/4 cup of granulated sugar into a small bowl. Once chilled, use the cookie scoop to portion the dough and roll into balls. Roll the balls in the sugar and place onto the prepared baking sheet - do not press down. Repeat.
⭐️Bake. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until starting to crisp on the outside but still soft on the inside. Remove from oven and press a Hersheys Kiss gently into the center of the cookie. The edges of the cookie will crack, giving the desired look of the cookie.
