Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 1 cup Hershey's Mini Kisses
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the butter mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Scoop teaspoon-sized portions of dough (approximately 1 inch) and roll them into balls.
Roll each ball in the reserved granulated sugar until fully coated.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1.5 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are just lightly golden and puffed.
While the cookies bake, unwrap the Hershey's Mini Kisses, if needed, and set them aside.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven. Immediately press a Mini Kiss into the center of each cookie, flattening it slightly. The cookie edges may crack slightly, 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.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
