Description
These soft and chewy peanut butter cookies topped with chocolate kisses are a timeless treat. Perfect for holiday baking or anytime you’re craving a sweet, nostalgic bite.
Ingredients
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
~30 milk chocolate kisses
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat together peanut butter, softened butter, and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add egg and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients and mix until combined.
Roll dough into tablespoon-sized balls. Place on prepared baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
Immediately after removing from oven, press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.
Cool on baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Do not overbake—cookies should remain soft and chewy.
Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet after adding kisses so the chocolate sets.
Variations: Try dark chocolate or caramel-filled kisses for a twist.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
