Make soft, chewy peanut butter cookies with a signature crackle top, finished with a milk chocolate kiss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, plus 1/2 cup for rolling
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 bag (12 ounces) milk chocolate kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract and peanut butter until combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Place the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar in a shallow dish.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the extra sugar until fully coated.
  8. Place the sugared balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centers should still look slightly soft.
  10. Immediately upon removing the cookies from the oven, gently press one chocolate kiss into the center of each warm cookie. The residual heat will soften the chocolate.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the softest cookies, do not overbake. Remove them when the edges look firm.
  • If your chocolate kisses are hard to press in, wait one minute longer before adding them.
  • You can chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling if your kitchen is very warm.
