These soft and chewy cookies have a delicious peanut butter taste and are topped with a Hershey’s Kiss chocolate. It’s the perfect treat for kids an adults alike!
In a medium bowl, Mix together the 1 ½ cups all purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and ¼ tsp salt.
In a separate large bowl, mix the ½ cup unsalted butter, ½ cup peanut butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup light brown sugar with a hand mixer until it's smooth and creamy. About 2-3 minutes.
Add in 1 egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract and mix.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing in a bit at a time. I usually add ⅓ of flour then mix, another ⅓ flour then mix, then last ⅓ flour then mix.
Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour.
Once dough has chilled, preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take 1 Tbsp of the cookie dough and roll it into a ball between your hands. Add the last ½ cup of granulated sugar to a bowl. Roll each cookie dough ball in the granulated sugar. Place on the baking sheet about 2" apart from each other.
Bake for 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and gently press an unwrapped Hershey's kiss into the center of the cookie. Place back in the oven to bake for 2 more minutes.
Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely.
