Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 24 chocolate kisses, unwrapped
- Granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Shape the Cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and then roll each ball in granulated sugar. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven.
