Peanut Blossoms

(from the kitchen of Evelyn McGhee)

1/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1-3/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 cup granulated sugar
2-3 dozen Hershey's kisses

Cream together first four ingredients. Add eggs vanilla and mix until smooth. Sift together flour, soda, and salt. Add to peanut butter mixture. Form into balls the size of a walnut and roll in sugar. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees F. for 8 minutes. Press a chocolate kiss in the center of each and bake another 2 or 3 minutes (don't overcook or they'll get really hard!)
