Delicious peanut butter cookies topped with chocolate kisses.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter softened (1 stick)
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ⅔ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup sugar
- 36 chocolate kiss candies
Instructions
- Place your wrapped chocolate kisses in the freezer.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cover baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine your flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or an electric hand mixer on medium speed, cream the butter, sugars, and peanut butter until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and the vanilla to the butter mixture and mix just until incorporated.
- Reduce the speed to low and add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in several increments, mixing until combined. Scrape down the bowl and beaters as needed.
- Cover and refrigerate the dough for 2 hours.
- Place ¼ cup sugar in a small bowl.
- Roll the dough into ¾ to 1-inch balls.
- Roll the dough balls in the granulated sugar and place on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until very lightly browned.
- Unwrap the chocolate kisses while the cookies are baking.
- Remove the cookies from the oven. After 1 minute, place 1 unwrapped chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie, pressing down gently and ever so slightly.
- Remove cookies to a cookie cooling rack and allow to fully cool.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the butter is at room temperature before creaming.
- Chilling the dough is essential for better texture.
- Feel free to use any type of chocolate candy on top if desired.
