My sister has a favorite cookie. Its a simple one, but its classically Easter for us. We make them at most holidays, and this Easter was no exception.
There is no love like I have for my sister. Honestly, she is probably reading this, but I have to brag and say she is one of the most talented, beautiful, thoughtful women I know. She is great. And simply being with her brings me joy... Especially when it involves good food.

So here is a simple cookie, one that represents comfortability, but also greatness.
Hershey Kiss Thumbprint Cookies
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 Tablespoons milk
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
36 Hershey Kisses
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Mix the shortening, peanut butter, and sugars. Add the egg, vanilla, and milk. In a separate bowl mix the dry ingredients. Stir into the wet ingredients. Roll into 1-inch balls, roll in granulated sugar and place on a cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden. While they are baking, unwrap the kisses. When you remove them from the oven, place a kiss and press into each hot cookie. Remove from cookie sheet and let them cool a bit before eating.

That's quite an enticing addiction. Is it water from Lake Macatawa?
