Ingredients

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ½ cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • additional granulated sugar about ¼ cup
  • 36 Hershey's Kiss candies unwrapped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line your cookie sheet(s) with parchment paper or coat with non-stick spray, and set aside.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the peanut butter and softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Cream until smooth.
  3. Add in the egg and mix well.
  4. Add the remaining dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix thoroughly - stopping the machine, scraping the sides, and mixing again.
  5. Scoop out dough about the size of a ping-pong ball. Roll the dough ball in the additional granulated sugar.
  6. Place on the prepared cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set.
  7. Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately place the unwrapped Hershey's Kiss candies in the center of each one. The heat will melt the chocolate and glue the cookies together.
  8. Allow to cool until the chocolate hardens.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter and eggs.
  • Don’t overmix or the cookies will be tough. 
  • Use a small cookie scoop to portion out the dough for uniformly shaped cookies.
  • Rolling the dough balls in granulated sugar before baking adds a bit of sparkle, making them look extra festive.
  • You can use natural peanut butter, but it might affect the texture because it is oily. Stir it well to incorporate the oils before measuring.
