Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar (lightly packed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Coating and Topping

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (additional for coating cookies)
  • 11 oz bag of Hershey Kisses

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the peanut butter, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar on medium-high speed until well blended.
  • Add in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Reduce the mixer speed, gradually adding in the dry mixture until completely blended.
  • Place the cookie dough in a well-sealed food container or tightly wrap the top of the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and chill the cookie dough for a minimum of 1 hour.

Baking

  • After the dough has chilled, line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats, adjust the oven rack to the 2nd level mark (just above center), and preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Using a spoon and your clean hands, shape the cookie dough into 1 inch balls, roll in granulated sugar, and place about 1 1/2 – 2 inches apart on lined baking sheets.
  • Bake for 7-8 minutes, then remove from oven and place a milk chocolate kiss on each cookie, pressing down gently.
  • Return to the oven and bake for 2 minutes longer.
  • Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill the dough for at least an hour for better shape and texture. Cookies taste best served at room temperature.
