Ingredients

All-purpose flour
Baking soda
Salt
Unsalted butter, softened
Creamy peanut butter
Granulated sugar (plus extra for rolling)
Light brown sugar, packed
Egg
Vanilla extract
Milk
Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped


Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the egg and mix until fully combined.
5. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
7. Coat each dough ball in granulated sugar.
8. Place the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden.
10. While the cookies are baking, unwrap the Hershey’s Kisses.
11. Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie.
12. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
13. Let the chocolate set for about 1 hour before serving.
14. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
15. For longer storage, freeze baked cookies or freeze dough balls for later use.

Notes

Roll the cookie dough balls generously in sugar to create a delightful crunch and added sweetness in every bite.

Press the Hershey’s Kiss into the cookies immediately after baking to allow the chocolate to soften slightly without melting completely.

Let the cookies cool completely before serving to give the chocolate time to set and prevent any mess.
