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 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons 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 unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar to fully coat them.
Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake.
While the cookies are baking, unwrap the chocolate kisses.
Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, press one chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. The cookie will crack slightly, which is normal.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
