This is my own take on peanut butter blossoms, a favorite cookie... I played with this recipe for a while and think I have mastered it. The key to my cookies is all-natural peanut butter, it really makes a difference!

Ingredients

¾ cup natural creamy peanut butter
⅔ cup white sugar, or to taste, divided
½ cup unsalted butter
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
24 milk chocolate candy kisses (such as Hershey's Kisses®), or to taste

Steps:

Beat peanut butter, 1/2 cup white sugar, butter, and brown sugar together in a bowl until creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until combined.
Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Stir into the peanut butter mixture. Refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in remaining white sugar to coat. Place on baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven until cracks form on the surface of the cookies, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and place a milk chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie, pressing down gently. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
