Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1–1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Topping

  • 36 milk chocolate kisses

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
  2. Cream Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 5 to 7 minutes. This step ensures a smooth, airy cookie base.
  3. Add Egg: Beat in the large egg until fully incorporated, which helps bind the dough.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution.
  5. Mix Dry into Wet: Gradually beat the dry ingredients into the peanut butter mixture until just combined, forming the cookie dough.
  6. Shape Cookies: Drop the dough by level tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the cookies are lightly browned on the edges.
  8. Add Chocolate Kiss: Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press one milk chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie while still warm so the chocolate melts slightly.
  9. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely, allowing the chocolate to set.

Notes

  • Use room temperature egg and butter for smoother batter and better mixing.
  • Press the chocolate kisses into the warm cookies immediately after baking to ensure they adhere well.
  • If you prefer, milk chocolate kisses can be substituted with dark or white chocolate kisses for variation.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • For a crisper cookie, bake a minute or two longer but watch carefully to avoid burning.
