Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (188g)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (113g)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus more for rolling (100g)
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (110g)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (180g)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 36 Hershey’s chocolate kisses, unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, butter, sugars, and salt until creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda, then gradually add to the peanut butter mixture on low speed.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and coat each ball in granulated sugar.
- Place on baking sheets about 2 inches apart and bake for 8–10 minutes, until cookies puff and edges are lightly golden.
- Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie while warm.
- Cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or storing.
Notes
- Use a no-stir, creamy peanut butter for best texture.
- Measure flour accurately to avoid dry cookies.
- Freeze chocolate kisses for 10 minutes before baking to prevent melting.
- Dough or baked cookies can be frozen for up to 2 months.
- Do not overbake; cookies will firm up as they cool.
