Classic peanut butter cookies topped with a chocolate kiss, perfect for holidays and sharing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • About 36 Hershey’s Kisses
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar, for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter and softened butter until smooth.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the bowl and beat until well combined.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Place the 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a shallow dish.
  8. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  9. Roll each ball in the sugar until evenly coated.
  10. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  11. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
  12. Immediately after removing from the oven, gently press one Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie. The residual heat will soften the chocolate.
  13. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For softer cookies, do not overbake. The centers should look slightly underdone when you remove them from the oven.
  • If the chocolate kisses become too soft to handle, you can chill them briefly in the refrigerator before pressing them into the cookies.
  • These cookies are best enjoyed within a few days of baking.
