Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 24 chocolate kisses
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly using a hand mixer or wooden spoon until the ingredients are completely blended and smooth.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the cookie dough into approximately 1-inch round balls. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Gently press down on each cookie ball with the tines of a fork to create a crisscross pattern, slightly flattening the cookies.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies appear set.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each warm cookie. The heat will help the chocolate kiss adhere to the cookie.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are fully cooled and the chocolate kisses have set, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use smooth, creamy peanut butter for the most consistent texture and easiest mixing.
- Make sure your egg is at room temperature to blend more smoothly into the batter.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes, ensuring even baking.
- Press chocolate kisses immediately after baking while cookies are still warm to help them adhere perfectly.
- Let cookies cool completely before storing to prevent chocolate from smearing.
- For extra richness, use high-quality chocolate kisses.
- Store cookies in a single layer to prevent the chocolate from getting scuffed.
