Method

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment. Unwrap the chocolate kisses.

  2. Beat the butter, peanut butter and both sugars with a hand mixer until creamy, then beat in the egg and vanilla.

  3. Mix in the flour, baking soda and salt until a soft dough forms.

  4. Roll into 24 small balls, roll in sugar and set 1 1/2 inches apart on the sheets.

  5. Bake until puffed and just set at the edges, with the tops starting to crack.

  6. Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie; the cookie cracks around it. Leave on the sheet to cool so the kisses set.

Tips

  • Use regular creamy peanut butter; natural peanut butter makes the dough oily and the cookies spread.
  • Press the kisses in the second the tray comes out, while the cookies are soft, or they crumble.
  • Pop the tray in the fridge for 10 minutes after if you need the chocolate tips firm for stacking.
