Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies
Description
This cookie recipe starts by creaming peanut butter, butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for a creamy base with depth from the brown sugar's molasses notes. Adding vanilla and egg binds the ingredients and enhances flavor. The dry ingredients—flour, baking soda, and salt—are incorporated to form a soft dough. Each cookie is shaped into a ball, indented before baking, and baked at 350°F until edges are set but centers remain soft.
Placing an unwrapped Hershey's Kiss into each warm cookie softens the candy slightly, embedding it into the center for a combined chocolate and peanut butter bite. The final texture is tender and chewy with a pleasant contrast from the chocolate. These cookies are well-suited for holiday baking or as a sweet treat.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 1/3 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 24 hershey kisses (unwrapped)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cream together peanut butter, butter, sugar and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add egg and vanilla and beat together.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl.

- Roll into 24 1" balls and place on cookie sheet several inches apart.
- Gently make an indentation in the center of each cookie.

Notes
- Press the Hershey's Kiss into the center immediately upon removing cookies from the oven to allow it to soften and adhere.
- Spacing cookies several inches apart on the baking sheet prevents spreading and sticking during baking.
- Baking time can be adjusted between 12-14 minutes depending on desired chewiness and oven variations.
