Peanut butter dough and a chocolate kiss in the form of an acorn make a tasty and festive fall dessert.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 c. smooth natural peanut butter
  • 3/4 c. sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp. flour
  • 1/2 c. mini chocolate chips
  • 48 chocolate kisses

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Beat first 5 ingredients in a bowl using an electric mixer until well combined.

  2. 2

    Spoon dough by rounded 1/4 teaspoonfuls onto an unlined baking sheet. Flatten each piece into a dome shape.

  3. 3

    Bake about 10 minutes or until golden around edges, rotating baking sheet halfway through baking. Let cool for 5 minutes on baking sheets.

  4. 4

    Microwave 1/4 cup mini chips in a small heat-proof bowl on high for 30 seconds, stirring at 10-second intervals. Dip the bottom of each chocolate kiss in melted chocolate, and place on the flat side of each cookie. Use the same method to affix a mini chip "stem" to the top of each cookie, completing the acorn.
