Ingredients: 8 tablespoons butter (softened (one stick)); ½ cup creamy peanut butter; 1 cup light brown sugar (lightly packed); 1 large egg; 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract; 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking soda; ¼ cup granulated sugar; 34 Hershey kisses (milk, dark chocolate, or other variety)

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

2

Add the butter and peanut butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until fully combined.

3

Next, add the brown sugar and mix until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

4

Add the egg and vanilla and mix to combine. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

5

Add the flour and baking soda and mix just until the dough comes together. Make sure not to overmix!

6

Scoop out 1 tablespoon-sized portions and roll them in granulated sugar. Place them on the parchment-lined baking sheets, making sure that they are at least 2” apart.

7

Bake them for 11 minutes, or just until the edges are set and golden brown.

8

Remove the cookies from the oven and press a Hershey kiss into the top of each cookie.

9

Allow the cookies to cool completely, transferring to an airtight container.
