Make these classic peanut butter cookies topped with a chocolate kiss. This recipe is simple and perfect for holiday baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, plus extra for rolling
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • About 72 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract and peanut butter until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in extra granulated sugar to coat lightly.
  6. Place the sugared balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centers should still look slightly soft.
  8. Immediately upon removing the cookies from the oven, gently press one unwrapped chocolate kiss into the center of each warm cookie. The heat will slightly soften the chocolate.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Do not press the chocolate kiss into the cookie until after the cookies come out of the oven.
  • If the dough seems too soft, chill it for 15 minutes before rolling.
  • Store the finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
