King's Crown" Cookies

List of Ingredients




1/2 cup Crisco Shortening
1-1/4 cups firmly-packed brown sugar
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tbsp milk
1 tbsp vanilla
1 egg
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
3 chocolate kisses or chocolate
candy-coated pieces

Icing:
2-1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup Crisco Shortening
2 tbsp milk
2 tsp corn syrup
food coloring



Recipe



1. Preheat oven to 375?F. Line three baking sheets with foil. Grease
with shortening. 2. For cookies, combine shortening, brown sugar, peanut
butter, milk and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric
mixer until well blended. Add egg. Beat just until blended. 3. Combine
flour, salt and baking soda. Add to creamed mixture at low speed. Mix
just until blended. 4. Divide dough into 3 equal parts. Working with 1/3
of dough at a time, break off 8 equal pieces of dough. Roll into balls.
"Hide" a chocolate kiss in one of the 8 balls, molding dough with
fingers around chocolate kiss. (This is the prize.) Arrange balls on
baking sheet almost touching in a 6-inch (15 cm) circle. Flatten balls
slightly with fingers. Repeat with remaining balls to make two more
"circles." 5. Bake one baking sheet at a time at 375?F for 9 to 11
minutes, or until set. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cool 5 to 8 minutes on baking
sheet before removing cookie on foil to countertop to cool completely.

6. For icing, combine icing sugar, shortening, milk and corn syrup in
bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until smooth. If too thick,
add additional milk, a few drops at a time. If too thin, add additional
icing sugar. 7. Divide icing into half. Place 1/2 into a large bowl.
Divide other half into three small bowls. Add yellow food color to one
small bowl until desired shade is achieved and mix well. Add equal
amounts of yellow and blue food color to the second small bowl to make a
green icing. Add equal amounts of blue and red food color to the third
small bowl to make a purple icing. Place the colored icings in small
resealable plastic bags. Seal. Cut tiny tip off corner of each bag.
Frost each cookie with white icing using spatula or knife. Pipe colored
icings decoratively over each "King cake." Makes: 3 "King's Crown"
Cookies
