Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 10-12 minutes
Ready in: 25-27 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 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 teaspoon vanilla extract
- About 36 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the creamy peanut butter to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
- While the cookies are still warm, gently press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie. The cookies may crack slightly, and that’s normal.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely and allow the chocolate to set.
