Soft and chewy, with a crackly sugar crust and chocolate kiss, these cookies are a must-make during the holidays!

Ingredients

½ c. creamy peanut butter
½ c. unsalted butter* softened to cool room temperature
½ c. granulated sugar plus more for rolling dough balls
½ c. firmly packed light brown sugar
1 egg
2 T. milk
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1-1/4 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda*
½ tsp. kosher salt
60 Hershey's®️ Kisses milk chocolates unwrapped (a 10.8 oz. package contains about 66 Kisses)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375° F.
In a large bowl, beat peanut butter, butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, milk, and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Blend in flour, baking soda, and salt until dough forms.
Shape dough into balls that are just bit more than 1" in diameter. I like to use a small scoop to portion out the dough - mine holds 1 tablespoon of dough. Roll dough balls in granulated sugar and place them on ungreased cookie sheets, about 2" apart.
Bake for 8 minutes, or until edges are light golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack.

Notes

* For the best, most consistent results with this recipe, I recommend using Land O'Lakes Unsalted Butter. Let it soften to a cool room temperature - it should not be overly soft or melty. Also be sure to use fresh, active baking soda.
