- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter until smooth.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and roll in granulated sugar. Place on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
- Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for easier mixing.
- Do not overbake; cookies should be soft and chewy.
- You can chill the dough for 30 minutes for firmer cookies.
