Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup natural creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar plus extra for rolling
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 24 milk chocolate kisses unwrapped

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, ½ cup white sugar, softened butter, and brown sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until fully combined and fluffy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Place about ¼ cup of additional white sugar in a small bowl for rolling.
  7. Scoop dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon (about 1 tablespoon per cookie). Roll each portion into a ball, then roll in the sugar to coat completely.
  8. Place the cookie balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are just set but the centers still appear soft.
  10. Remove from the oven and immediately press an unwrapped chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie, gently pressing down until the cookie cracks slightly around the edges.
  11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
