Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 254 g
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 12 Tbsp unsalted butter 170g/1.5 sticks/3/4 cup at cool room temp
  • 75 g granulated sugar 3/8 cup
  • 125 g lightly packed light brown sugar 3/5 cup
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter 203 g
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk at room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 40 unwrapped Hershey kisses
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar for rolling cookies

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit. Prep baking sheets by lining with parchment paper or silicone liners and set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and set aside.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the peanut butter and beat well until very fluffy.
  • Add eggs and vanilla and beat until well combined.
  • With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture until fully combined.
  • Place 1/3 cup granulated sugar for rolling in a small bowl.
  • Using a tablespoon or a small spring-loaded cookie scoop, scoop the dough and use your clean hands to roll into balls. Roll the dough through the sugar and place on the prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake 9-11 minutes, until puffy and lightly golden brown.
  • Once removed from the oven, press an unwrapped kiss candy into the center of each cookie. Leave on the pan for 3-5 minutes, then transfer cookies to a cooling rack.
  • Enjoy! Allow to cool completely before storing or the kisses will mush! Once cool, these can be transferred to a cookie jar and will keep well at room temp for 3 days, or they freeze well in a single layer.
