Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 24 pieces Hershey's Kisses (unwrapped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the dough is used.
Roll each dough ball in the reserved granulated sugar to coat, then place them on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press an unwrapped Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie. The cookie may crack slightly around the edges, which is normal.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Peanut Butter Cookies with Kisses, or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
