Ingredients

  • 2/3 c. peanut butter, smooth
  • 1/4 c. unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 t. vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 2 t. baking soda
  • Sugar (for coating cookies)
  • 40 Hershey's Kisses

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, butter and brown sugar on medium speed until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. On low speed, blend in the flour and salt.

  2. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in the sugar to coat lightly. Place on ungreased baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.

  3. Move the cookies from the baking sheets to a wire rack and immediately place an unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss on the center of each cookie, pressing down so that the cookie cracks a little bit around the edge.

  4. Using a metal spatula, transfer the cookies to wire racks and let them cool completely. Repeat until all the dough is used or all the Kisses are gone. Makes approximately 40 cookies.
