Ingredients

  • 1 cup (246g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup (139g) + 2 tbsp salted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (115g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (123g) brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup (59ml) milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (228g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 36 Hershey's Kisses, unwrapped

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  2. 2

    Using a mixer, blend together the peanut butter, butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.You will want to mix it for a couple of minutes so it gets nice and fluffy and light in color.

  3. 3

    Next, add the egg, milk, and vanilla, and beat until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  5. 5

    Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.

  6. 6

    Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and then roll into sugar. Place your cookie dough balls on your prepped cookie sheets. Ensure there's about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

  7. 7

    Bake the cookies at 375°F (190°C) for 7-9 minutes. Be cautious not to overcook; these cookies are best when they are soft and just cooked through.

  8. 8

    As soon as you take the cookies out of the oven, gently press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each one.

  9. 9

    Allow the cookies to cool, giving the chocolate time to set, before serving.
