In large bowl, beat shortening, peanut butter, sugars until creamy; beat in egg and vanilla. Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to shortening mixture, blending thoroughly. Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then roll in extra sugar to coat. Place balls 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Bake in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes; mean while, unwrap chocolate kisses. Remove cookies from oven and quickly top each with a kiss, pressings down until cookie cracks around edges. Return to oven and bake for 3 to 5 more minutes or until cookies are lightly browned and firm to the touch. Transfer to racks and let cool completely. Store air-tight. Makes 2½ to 3 dozen.
