Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter; softened
  • ¾ cup peanut butter
  • ⅓ cup white sugar
  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar; packed
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 ½ cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Additional ⅓ cup white sugar for rolling the cookie balls.
  • 24 Candy Kisses

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and peanut butter together.
  • Add the sugars and mix until blended.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the egg, milk and vanilla and add to the stand mixer. Mix until everything is combined.
  • Combine the dry ingredients in another bowl. Then add the flour mixture to the peanut mixture one cup at a time, beating between each addition.
  • Place the dough in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • While the dough is chilling, preheat oven to 375°F and prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper.
  • After the dough has chilled, use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to scoop out dough and form each scoop into a ball.
  • Place the ⅓ cup white sugar in a small bowl and roll each dough ball in the sugar until coated. 
  • Place each coated dough ball on the prepared baking sheet two inches apart to allow for spreading.
  • Bake cookies 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and puffy.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.
  • Allow the cookies  to cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before removing to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-5 days.
For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a single layer first on a baking tray to flash freeze for about 30 - 60 minutes and then place the frozen cookies in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
