Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for sweetness
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar adds moisture and that chewy texture
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter the heart of the cookie
  • 1 cup salted butter, room temperature for that rich buttery flavor
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature binding agents that help with texture
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted provides the structure
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda helps the cookies rise
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder gives additional lift
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for rolling) for a sweet outer crust
  • 1 bag Hershey’s Kisses milk chocolates the perfect chocolate crown for each cookie

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F to ensure even baking.
  2. In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup packed brown sugar, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 cup salted butter, and 2 large eggs until creamy and well combined, about 2-3 minutes at medium speed.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined—avoid overmixing.
  5. Roll the dough into marble-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll them in 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and place them 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Baking
  1. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are light brown.
  2. Remove from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie.
  3. Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to one week. They are freezer-friendly for up to 3 months. You can customize with different chocolate types or add toppings like sea salt.
