Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the peanut butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Roll the dough into one-inch balls, about 24 in total, and coat each ball in granulated sugar. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie immediately after baking, then allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

For a vegan option, substitute the egg with a flax egg.
Ensure the butter is properly softened to achieve the right texture in the dough.
For a flavor twist, try using different varieties of chocolate kisses instead of the standard milk chocolate.
