Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (preferably natural, no added sugar)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for rolling)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (or 1 1/2 cups almond flour for gluten-free option)
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • About 36 Hershey Kisses (classic milk chocolate or preferred flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Beat in 1 cup creamy peanut butter until fully combined, then mix in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, blending on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar.
  7. Place dough balls about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are set but centers still look soft.
  9. Immediately press one Hershey Kiss into the center of each cookie as soon as they come out of the oven.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Roll dough balls in granulated sugar before baking for a subtle crunch. Press Hershey Kiss into the cookie immediately after baking to ensure it melts slightly but keeps its shape. Chill dough 15-20 minutes if too soft or sticky to roll. Use room temperature ingredients for best texture.
