Classic peanut butter cookies topped with a Hershey’s Kiss chocolate candy. These cookies are soft, chewy, and have the perfect balance of salty peanut butter and sweet chocolate.
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
24 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, egg, and baking soda. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Roll the dough into 24 equal-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Use a fork to gently flatten each dough ball, creating a crisscross pattern on the top.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are lightly golden.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately press one Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
