Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar for rolling
  • 1 10-ounce package chocolate kisses or stars

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Recommend lining cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter, sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer. Mix for a couple minutes until light and fluffy over medium speed. Beat in egg and vanilla, and mix until mixture is smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.  Stir flour mixture into the butter mixture, and mix just until combined.
  • Scoop dough and roll into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in sugar and place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies for about 7-8 minutes or until barely golden brown. The cookies should be slightly puffed and crackled.
  • Remove from oven and gently press one chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. Carefully transfer the baked cookies, and let cool on a cooling rack.
