Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.
Scoop out 1-inch portions of dough and roll them into balls (roughly 1 tablespoon of dough each).
Roll each ball in the granulated sugar reserved for rolling to coat.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets approximately 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden and slightly puffed but not browned.
While the cookies are baking, unwrap all the Hershey's Kisses and set them aside.
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a Hershey's Kiss gently into the center of each cookie. The cookies will crack slightly around the edges β this is normal!
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your PB Kiss Cookies or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
