A recipe for classic peanut butter cookies topped with a chocolate kiss, focused on achieving a soft and chewy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for rolling
  • About 48 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract and peanut butter until combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Place the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar in a shallow dish.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the sugar to coat lightly.
  8. Place the sugared balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centers should still look slightly soft.
  10. Immediately upon removing the cookies from the oven, gently press one unwrapped chocolate kiss into the center of each warm cookie.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The chocolate will set as the cookie cools.

Notes

  • For the best crackle top, press the chocolate kiss into the cookie immediately after it comes out of the oven while the cookie is still hot.
  • If you prefer a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them (closer to 8 minutes).
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
