Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup peanut butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup, packed brown sugar
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 24 pieces Hershey's Kisses, unwrapped
- 0.25 cup extra granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
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.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
Scoop out 1-tablespoon portions of dough and roll them into balls.
Roll each ball in the extra granulated sugar to coat, then place them on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops have cracked slightly.
Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, gently press an unwrapped Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie. The cookie will crack further around the edges as you press the chocolate in.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
