Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 36 unwrapped milk chocolate candy kisses
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Mix in the creamy peanut butter, followed by the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms—be careful not to overmix.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and coat them in the remaining granulated sugar.
- Place the cookies on the prepared sheet about two inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are lightly golden; centers should be set but soft.
- Press an unwrapped milk chocolate kiss into each warm cookie as soon as they come out of the oven.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
