Categories     Cookies

Yield 34 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup smooth, unsalted, natural peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus more for coating
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
34 milk chocolate kisses, unwrapped

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter and peanut butter together until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add both sugars and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Add egg and beat until smooth. Add about one-third of flour mixture and mix on low speed. Gradually add remaining flour, mixing just until blended. Scrape dough onto large piece of plastic wrap, Use wrap to help shape into a large, flat disk, then cover completely with wrap. Refrigerate until firm enough to roll into balls, at least one hour or overnight. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll dough between your palms into 1 1/2-inch balls, roll in granulated sugar to coat completely, and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Gently flatten just enough so they don't roll off. Bake just until light golden brown on bottoms (peek to check), about 18 minutes. Press chocolate kiss into center of each cookie (they might crack - that's okay) and return to oven for 1 minute. Cool cookies on sheets on racks for a couple of minutes, thencarefully transfer to racks to cool completely.
