Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the creamy peanut butter, then add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and a soft dough forms.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat evenly.
Baking
- Place the sugared dough balls about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie, causing it to crack slightly.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can use crunchy peanut butter. Ensure your butter is truly softened for a smoother dough. Do not overbake to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
