Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, classic style, not natural
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • granulated sugar, for a very light dusting (optional)
  • Hershey's Kisses, unwrapped

Steps

1Make the dough

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Add 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened.
  3. Add 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter.
  4. Add 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed.
  5. Cream just until smooth; don't whip.

  7. Stir in 1 cup all-purpose flour.
  8. Stir in 1/2 tsp baking soda.
  9. Stir in 1/4 tsp salt.
  10. Stir until just combined.

2Shape and bake

  1. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  2. Roll each ball quickly through granulated sugar; you should barely see it.
  3. Place on a baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake 8–9 minutes, until the tops are cracked, the edges are set and the centers look slightly underdone.
  5. Remove from the oven and immediately press a Hershey's Kiss into each cookie.
  6. Cool on the sheet 2 minutes.
  7. Transfer the cookies.
