Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Incorporate peanut butter, egg, and vanilla until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix this into the wet ingredients until no streaks of flour remain.
  4. Form the dough into 1-inch balls and roll in additional sugar before placing them on the prepared baking sheets.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden and puffed.
  6. Immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie after removing from oven.
  7. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
