Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for rolling)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • About 36 chocolate kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Unwrap chocolate kisses and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes on medium speed. Scrape down sides halfway through.
  3. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Dough will be soft and slightly sticky. If too sticky, refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  6. Place extra granulated sugar in a small bowl. Roll dough into 1-inch balls (about 1.5 tablespoons each). Roll each ball in sugar until coated. Place on prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake one sheet at a time for 10-12 minutes. Cookies should look puffed and set around edges, with soft centers.
  8. Remove baking sheet from oven. Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie, pushing gently until cookie cracks slightly around edges.
  9. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use a standard creamy peanut butter like Jif or Skippy. If dough is sticky, chill for 10-15 minutes before rolling. Do not overbake; cookies should be soft in the center when removed from oven. Press chocolate kisses in immediately after baking but let cookies cool 1-2 minutes first to prevent melting.
