Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) peanut butter
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 egg
Baking Agents:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping:
- 24 Hershey’s Kisses (unwrapped)
Instructions
- Prepare workspace by heating oven to precise 350°F and positioning rack in center for uniform baking.
- Blend peanut butter mixture thoroughly, whisking sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and baking soda until achieving silky, consistent texture without lumps.
- Craft uniform dough spheres approximately one inch in diameter, ensuring consistent size for even cooking.
- Arrange cookie rounds on parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to prevent merging during baking.
- Roast cookies for 8-10 minutes, watching for subtle golden edges indicating perfect doneness.
- Remove from oven and immediately indent center of each warm cookie by gently pressing chocolate kiss, allowing residual heat to slightly melt chocolate’s base.
- Transfer cookies to wire cooling rack, permitting complete temperature reduction to solidify chocolate and set cookie structure.
- Once fully cooled, serve or store in airtight container to maintain freshness and soft texture.
Notes
- Soften the peanut butter at room temperature for easier mixing and smoother dough consistency.
- Use natural peanut butter with no added sugar for a less sweet, more nutty flavor profile.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling to prevent sticky hands and create more uniform cookies.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend without compromising texture.
