Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup smooth or chunky peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for rolling)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 24 chocolate kisses (approximately one per cookie)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid tough cookies.
  3. Shape and roll the dough balls: Form the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in extra granulated sugar for a beautiful, sugary coating that crisps up on the outside.
  4. Bake and add chocolate kisses: Place the sugar-coated balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving adequate space between them. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still soft. Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each hot cookie, gently pressing it down without breaking it.
  5. Cool and enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This resting time lets the chocolate set and prevents melting.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter and peanut butter for a smoother, well-mixed dough.
  • Do not overbake; pull cookies out when edges are firm but centers are still soft for chewy results.
  • Roll dough balls evenly for consistent baking and presentation.
  • Press chocolate kisses gently while cookies are warm to prevent cracking.
  • If dough is too sticky, chill it for 15-20 minutes before rolling.
