From TOH mag Feb/Mar 2000.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
additional sugar
30 hershey's milk chocolate miniature kisses
60 miniature m&m's chocolate candies
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugars. Beat in egg and vanilla; mix well. Combine the flour, salt and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well (dough will be crumbly).
2. Set aside 1/2 cup of dough for ears. Shape remaining dough into 1 inch balls; roll in additional sugar. Place 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten to about 1/2 inch thickness. Roll reserved dough into 1/2 inch balls; roll in sugar. Place two smaller balls about 1 inch apart touching each flattened ball (do not flatten smaller balls).
3. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until set and edges are lightly browned. Remove from oven; immediately press one kiss and two baking bits into each cookie for nose and eyes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
