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 unit Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for rolling)
• 24 pieces Chocolate kisses

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined and forming a smooth dough.

Step 6

Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat for the remaining dough.

Step 7

Pour 1/4 cup of granulated sugar into a shallow bowl, and roll each dough ball in the sugar to coat.

Step 8

Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly puffed.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. The cookie will crack slightly around the edges, which is normal.

Step 11

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
