This is almost the same recipe I use, but I use butter instead of shortening and replace the Chocolate kisses with Dove chocolate hearts. They are perfect to make around Valentine's Day!

This is a good recipe and the same one I use. Peanut butter and chocolate....what's not to like about that!! The only things different I do, is chill my dough for about 30 minutes so the dough is easier to handle. I also bake my cookies at a lower temp. on parchment lined cookie sheets so they don't get to brown on the bottoms.
