Description

Classic homemade peanut butter cookies topped with a chocolate kiss, perfect for holidays or everyday treats.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • About 36 chocolate kiss candies, unwrapped
  • Additional granulated sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter until smooth.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and roll in granulated sugar. Place on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
  8. 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.
