Notes

  • Butter: I like to use salted butter, but you can use unsalted if you prefer. 
  • Peanut butter: I use regular peanut butter, not natural peanut butter, in this recipe. 
  • Flour: It's important to properly measure the flour. Stir or sift the flour to break it up. Then, lightly spoon into the measuring cup and level. 
  • Salt: If you'd like more of a salty/sweet taste to the cookies, use 1 teaspoon of kosher salt instead. 
  • Kisses: You'll need 36 kisses for this recipe. You can use any flavor of chocolate kiss that you like in this recipe. When pressing the kisses on, be sure to gently press them in so that you don't break the cookies.
