Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the creamy peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and a soft dough forms.
Baking
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and then roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat.
- Place the sugared dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft.
- Immediately press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each hot cookie.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, ensure your butter is truly softened to room temperature for easier creaming. You can also slightly chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before rolling if it's too sticky, which can help prevent spreading.
