Equipment
- 1 mixing bowls
- 1 electric mixer or whisk
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper
- 1 oven
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 24 pieces chocolate kisses Approximately 340g
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and egg. Use an electric mixer or whisk to blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the baking soda, salt, and all-purpose flour.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until well combined.
- Using your hands, form small balls of dough (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The center will look soft.
- Remove from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a fun twist, you can roll the cookie dough balls in granulated sugar before baking for an extra sweet finish.
Make sure to let the cookies cool a bit after baking before pressing in the chocolate kisses to avoid melting them too much.
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
