Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 36 pieces Hershey's Kisses (unwrapped)
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 4
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Scoop out 1-inch balls of dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon. Roll each dough ball between your palms until smooth.
Step 7
Roll each dough ball in granulated sugar to coat, then place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are slightly golden and puffed. Do not overbake; they will continue to set as they cool.
Step 9
While the cookies bake, unwrap the Hershey's Kisses for topping.
Step 10
As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, quickly press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie. The cookie will slightly crack around the edges, which is normal.
Step 11
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Serve and enjoy! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
