Heat oven to 375°F. Remove wrappers from chocolates.

Step 2

Beat shortening and peanut butter in a large bowl until well blended. Add 1/3 cup of granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into peanut butter mixture.

Step 3

Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet.
