Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- Extra granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 24-28 Hershey's Kisses, unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Make the dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Shape the cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and roll each ball in granulated sugar until fully coated. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra softness, slightly underbake the cookies.
- You can store these cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
