Ingredients
¾ cup creamy no‑stir peanut butter (approx. 188 g)
½ cup unsalted butter, softened (approx. 113 g)
½ cup granulated sugar (approx. 100 g), plus extra for rolling
½ cup packed light brown sugar (approx. 110 g)
¼ teaspoon salt
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups all‑purpose flour (approx. 180 g)
½ teaspoon baking soda
36 Hershey’s chocolate kisses, unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until smooth.
- Beat in egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- On low speed, mix in flour and baking soda until just combined.
- Scoop dough into 1‑inch balls (≈18 g each). Roll balls in extra granulated sugar.
- Place coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Immediately press an unwrapped chocolate kiss into the center of each warm cookie.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet to let the chocolate set, then transfer to a wire rack if desired.
Notes
- Freeze chocolate kisses for 10 minutes before pressing to minimize melting.
- Use a #100 cookie scoop for consistent dough ball sizes (~1 inch).
- Crunchy peanut butter adds texture variety.
- Roll in colored sugar for festive flair.
- Omit the chocolate kiss or replace with other toppings like mini peanut butter cups.
