Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 24 pieces milk chocolate kisses
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
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.
Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of dough, roll it into a ball, and flatten it slightly.
Press a milk chocolate kiss into the center of the dough and carefully fold the dough around the chocolate to seal it completely, forming a ball again.
Roll each dough ball lightly in powdered sugar and place them on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake to keep the cookies soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your Peanut Butter Surprises with a cold glass of milk and enjoy!
