Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (113 gms) Butter softened
  • 1/2 cup (100 gms) Sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110 gms) Brown Sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter smooth
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1.5 cups (180 gms) Flour/Maida
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 cup Sugar for rolling the dough
  • 30 Hershey's Kisses

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 2–3 minutes until well combined.
  • Add peanut butter and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth.
  • Mix in the egg and vanilla and beat until fully incorporated.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredietns - flour, baking soda and salt to the wet mixture and fold until a dough forms.
  • Scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough, roll into a ball, and coat with granulated sugar.
  • Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Softened Butter: Use softened, not melted butter, for the perfect texture.
  • No Overmixing: Beat the butter and sugars just until combined to avoid spreading issues.
  • Toppings: Use festive chocolates, mini Reese’s Cups, or even molded chocolate shapes instead of Hershey’s Kisses for variety.
  • Festive Touch: Roll dough balls in sanding sugar before baking to add a holiday sparkle.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Make Ahead: Freeze pre-rolled dough balls and bake directly from frozen, adding an extra minute of bake time if needed.
