Unwrap Hershey kisses from wrappers and set aside. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit.

In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.

In large bowl using an electric mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer beat the sugars, peanut butter, shortening, egg and vanilla until creamy.

Gradually Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix until combined, scraping sides of the bowl frequently. Do not over mix your cookie dough.

Using a 1 Tbsp cookie scoop, scoop the peanut butter cookie dough or roll into 1-inch balls. Then into granulated or colored sugar. Place the cookie dough balls 2 inches apart on the parchment lined large baking sheet.

Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Do not over bake. I usually remove mine at 9 minutes. Remove from oven and place a hershey's kiss or chocolate of your choice in the center of each cookie, pressing gently. The heat from the cookie will melt the chocolate slightly, they will harden once cooled. Place the cookies on a wire rack to cool.
