These are my old tried and true standbys. My family has been making them since as far back as I can remember... Nowadays, I see various recipes for these cookies. But I gotta tell ya, none are as good as these!
I think the secret may be the sugar bath these get before they go into the oven...
Or it could be that I bake the kisses, too... (the kisses never harden again).
Either way, they're delicious! Give 'em a try.
Disclaimer: They WILL become a top request.
Peanut Butter Kisses
2 2/3 sifted all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for rolling)
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
5 dozen hershey's kisses
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Sift flour with baking soda and salt. Set aside.
Beat butter and peanut butter until well blended.
Add 3/4 cup granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla, beat until smooth (about 3 minutes)
Stir in flour mixture until well combined. If dough is a little sticky, chill for 30 mins so you can shape them easier.
Use a tablespoon to shape dough into balls (about 5 dozen). I use the smallest size ice cream scoop (melon baller?). Roll each ball in granulated sugar.
Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet or silpat.
Bake for 10 minutes or until light brown. Remove from oven.
Press chocolate kiss on top of each cookie. Bake 2 minutes longer.
Remove cookies and cool completely. Enjoy!
