A classic peanut butter cookie topped with a melty Hershey Kiss, offering a perfect balance of tender dough and sugary crust for a cozy, festive treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (250 g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar, plus extra for rolling
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened (room temperature)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • About 24 Hershey Kisses, unwrapped (milk chocolate classic)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Cream the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract; beat until combined, scraping down the bowl as needed.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry mix to the wet mix, stirring on low speed or folding in with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Roll the dough into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls and roll each ball in granulated sugar until fully coated.
  6. Place the sugar-coated dough balls about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft. Do not wait for browning.
  8. Immediately press a Hershey Kiss into the center of each cookie while still hot.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Do not overbake; cookies should look slightly underdone when removed. Use room-temperature ingredients for best results. Roll dough balls evenly for uniform baking. Press Hershey Kisses immediately after baking to ensure they stick. Chill dough for 15 minutes if kitchen is warm to prevent spreading.
