Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus extra for rolling
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
30 milk chocolate kisses, unwrapped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Gradually stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft dough forms.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball, then roll the ball in a small bowl of granulated sugar to coat it evenly.
Place balls on the cookie sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are set.
Immediately after removing from the oven, gently press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.
Let them cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack.
Notes
If your dough is too soft to roll into balls, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before shaping. Ensure your chocolate kisses are unwrapped before the cookies finish baking to ensure they can be placed immediately while the cookies are hot.
