Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 24 pieces Chocolate kisses
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined and forming a smooth dough.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat for the remaining dough.
Pour 1/4 cup of granulated sugar into a shallow bowl, and roll each dough ball in the sugar to coat.
Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly puffed.
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. The cookie will crack slightly around the edges, which is normal.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
