Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar (plus extra for rolling)
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk
Additional:
- 36 chocolate kiss candies, unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter until creamy.
- Add wet ingredients: Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
- Combine and form dough: Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and coat each ball in granulated sugar.
- Bake: Place dough balls on baking sheets, bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden.
- Add chocolate kisses: Remove from oven and press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.
- Cool and serve: Cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a softer cookie, do not overbake.
- You can freeze the dough balls ahead of time and bake from frozen—just add an extra minute to the baking time.
- Use parchment paper to avoid sticking.
