Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar, for dipping
- 36 Hershey’s Kisses Milk Chocolate candies, unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. You can also bake the cookies in batches.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, peanut butter, the granulated sugar, and the brown sugar until well combined.
- Add the egg and beat until incorporated.
- Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix until the dough starts to come together.
- Place the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a shallow bowl.
- Shape the cookie dough into 1-tablespoon-size balls, and then roll in the sugar to coat evenly. Place the balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown, rotating the pans after 5 minutes.
- Immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie. Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
