Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Additional granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 24 pieces Chocolate kisses, unwrapped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Scoop out dough in 1-inch portions and roll into balls with your hands.
Roll each ball in the additional granulated sugar to coat completely and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set, but the centers are still soft.
As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, gently press one chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. The cookie may crack slightly—that's okay!
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 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.
