Bake soft and chewy peanut butter cookies topped with a chocolate kiss for a classic holiday treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 36 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar, for rolling

Instructions

  1. Cream together softened butter and peanut butter in a large bowl until smooth.
  2. Beat in granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. This helps the cookies hold their shape.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls.
  9. Roll each dough ball in the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar.
  10. Place dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  11. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers should still look soft.
  12. Immediately press one unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each warm cookie.
  13. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For softer cookies, slightly underbake them.
  • You can freeze unbaked dough balls for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding a minute or two to the baking time.
  • These cookies are great for cookie exchanges and holiday baking.
  • Consider these cookies as a delightful alternative to some meal planning services.
