Heat oven to 375 F. Remove wrappers from kisses.
In large bowl, beat shortening and peanut butter until well blended. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Add egg, milk, and vanilla; beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add peanut butter mixture. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar, place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately place kiss on top of each cookie, pressing down so cookie cracks around edges. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
