Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar plus more for rolling
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 24 chocolate kisses unwrapped

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Chill for 30 minutes if the dough is too soft to handle.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll dough into 1-inch balls and coat each in granulated sugar. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until lightly golden and puffed.
  4. Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, gently press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Freezer: Freeze the cookie dough balls (without chocolate) for up to 2 months. Bake straight from frozen and top with a kiss.
  • Gift-Worthy: These cookies package beautifully in tins or cellophane bags for gifting.
