Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
• 24 chocolate kisses (unwrapped)

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 large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until fluffy and well combined (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.

Step 6

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough, rolling them into balls. Then roll each ball in the granulated sugar to coat fully.

Step 7

Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops have a slightly cracked appearance.

Step 9

While the cookies bake, unwrap the chocolate kisses and set them aside.

Step 10

As soon as you remove the cookies from the oven, immediately press a chocolate kiss gently into the center of each cookie. The cookie edges may crack slightly, which is fine.

Step 11

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
