Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies

3 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup vegetable shortening

1 cup creamy peanut butter

3/4 cup sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 package (13 ounces) Hershey's Kisses

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In medium bowl combine flour, baking soda and salt. In the bowl of a mixer, beat shortening and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Add sugars and mix well. Add eggs one at a time, then the vanilla and mix until smooth. Add flour mixture to peanut butter mixture. Mix well. Roll dough into 1 inch balls (dough will be slightly dry). Place on ungreased cookie sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart. With your finger make an indention about 1/2 inch deep in the center of the each ball. (dough will crack around edges).

Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and immediately place a kiss in the indention of the cookie. Remove from pan to cooling rack and cool completely.
