Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup peanut butter Choose a creamy variety for a smooth texture.
  • 1 cup sugar Granulated sugar is best, but brown sugar will add a deeper flavor.
  • 1 each egg Ensure it's at room temperature for better mixing.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Use pure vanilla for the best flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda This helps the cookies rise perfectly.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt A must for enhancing flavors.
  • 24 pieces Hershey's Kisses Use classic milk chocolate or try different flavors like caramel or almond.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a lined baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops puff up slightly.
  5. Gently press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie while they are still warm.
  6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

For the best results, ensure ingredients are at room temperature and avoid overmixing the dough.
