Peanut Blossoms

There are a lot of versions of this; mine came from an old coworker named Katie: your basic can-cook-anything grandmother!

1 and 3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Chocolate Kisses

Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt.
Cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar.
Beat well the egg, milk and vanilla; beat into the butter and sugar mixture.
Blend in the dry ingredients gradually and mix thoroughly. Shape into balls, roll into additional granulated sugar and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Remove from the oven and place an unwrapped chocolate Kiss on top of each cookie, pressing down so the cookie cracks around the edges. Return to the oven and bake an additional 2 minutes.
Bake for 8 minutes at 375 degrees.
