Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup sugar (for rolling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 24 chocolate kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dough: In a bowl, combine peanut butter, 1/2 cup sugar, egg, baking soda, and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Shape cookies: Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the 1/4 cup sugar to coat.
  4. Bake: Place cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  5. Add chocolate kisses: Immediately upon removing from the oven, gently press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. The cookie will crack slightly around the edges, creating its signature look.
  6. Cool: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh baking soda to ensure proper rise.
  • Do not overbake to keep cookies soft and chewy.
  • You can substitute half peanut butter and half almond butter for a different nutty flavor.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely for the chocolate to set nicely.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
