Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
36 chocolate kisses, unwrapped
Instructions
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix together peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Form Dough
Gradually add dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until well incorporated.
Shape Cookies
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Add Chocolate Kisses
Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. The tops will crack slightly—this is perfect.
Cool and Serve
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a festive twist, roll dough balls in red or pink sanding sugar before baking.
Use heart-shaped chocolate candies instead of traditional kisses for a Valentine vibe.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.
These cookies freeze well for up to 2 months (without the chocolate added—add after thawing and reheating slightly).
