Classic peanut butter cookies with a chocolate kiss in the center.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 48 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar, for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, and peanut butter until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat.
- Place cookies 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each hot cookie.
- Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened for easy creaming.
- Do not overbake the cookies; they will continue to set as they cool.
- Press the chocolate kisses into the cookies while they are still hot to ensure they adhere and slightly melt.
