Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup creamy 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
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 24 pieces chocolate kisses (unwrapped)
- 0.25 cup additional granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until well-combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized pieces of dough and roll them into balls.
Roll each ball in the additional granulated sugar to coat evenly.
Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press an unwrapped chocolate kiss into the center of each warm cookie.
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely and allow the chocolate to set.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Peanut Butter Kisses!
