Delicious Peanut Butter Kisses Recipe - Perfect Cookies

Ingredients

Servings:
36
  • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, based on preference)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 36 pieces chocolate kisses (unwrapped)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Sugars and Peanut Butter

    In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth.

    Using an electric mixer can make this easier.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla

    Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Make sure the egg is at room temperature for better mixing.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

    Sifting the flour can help avoid lumps.
  5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture. Stir until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep the cookies soft.
  6. Shape the Cookies

    Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and then roll in granulated sugar.

    Make sure to coat the balls evenly for a sweet crust.
  7. Bake the Cookies

    Place the cookies on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden.

    Leave space between cookies as they will spread.
  8. Add Chocolate Kisses

    Remove from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.

    Let the cookies cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
