Cream together shortening, peanut butter and sugars. Beat eggs and add to first mixture. Add vanilla, then flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Roll in 1 inch balls, then roll in sugar (don't flatten). Put on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and press a chocolate kiss into the middle of each cookie.
Oh, but Kisses taste so much better. I find that stars have almost a waxy taste, blech. Either way, it's too much sugar for me, so the stars works for you, good for you!!! I like thinking outside the box!

Just a suggestion, I use chocolate stars instead of kisses. No agravating unwrapping. Basicall the same effect with out all the bother.
