Description
Delicious cookies filled with creamy peanut butter and topped with chocolate kisses.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (180g) all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter (1 stick, at room temp)
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
- 1 large egg (at room temp)
- ½ cup (140g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 30 Hershey’s milk chocolate kisses (unwrapped)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, and salt), set aside.
- In a large bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream the butter for 1 minute. Add the sugars and beat for 1 minute. Scrape off the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
- Add the egg, peanut butter, and vanilla, and beat until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix until just combined. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.
- Line baking 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.
- Divide the cookie dough into 1 tablespoon dough balls (use a small cookie scoop, or scales). Gently roll ball in granulated sugar to coat from all sides, and arrange on the baking sheets 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 minutes the cookies will puff up and have cracked tops, remove from the oven and cool for 5-10 minutes (if you add the chocolates right away they will melt, so it’s recommend that you cool the cookies a little first, but not for too long as you don’t want them to set completely).
- Press a chocolate kiss candy in the center of each cookie, and remove onto a cooling rack. If it’s very warm where you are working, then you can place the cookies in the freezer for 10 minutes – this will prevent the chocolate from melting.
Notes
- Chilling the dough helps to prevent spreading during baking.
- Make sure to use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
