Ingredients
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (plus more for rolling)
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 36 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Scoop 1-inch balls of dough and roll them in the extra granulated sugar. Place the sugared dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until they are puffy and the edges are just starting to brown.
7. Immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
