How to make?
Ingredients
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus more for rolling
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
24 chocolate kiss candies, unwrapped
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus more for rolling
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350˚F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix together the butter, peanut butter, and both sugars in a bowl with a wooden spoon until smooth and combined; add in the egg and mix until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Slowly, in a couple of additions, add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture and combine to form the cookie dough.
Add a few tablespoons of sugar to a small bowl. Scoop into balls with about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough. Roll between your hands to form a ball, and then coat it with sugar.
Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet a couple of inches apart.
Bake the cookies on the middle rack about 12 minutes, until slightly spread out, domed on the top, and golden on the bottom. Immediately press a chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie.
Let the cookies cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a rack to finish cooling completely. These cookies will keep for a few days stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
