Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, beat butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in additional sugar.
Place dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until cookies are puffed and lightly golden.
Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Swap chocolate kisses for mini peanut butter cups or chocolate chunks.

Use colored sugar for a festive holiday look.

Crunchy peanut butter can be used for added texture.

Add a slice of bread to your storage container to keep cookies soft.

Freeze dough balls for make-ahead convenience—bake straight from frozen.
