Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup Peanut butter (Jif or Skippy, creamy)
- 1/4 cup Powdered sugar (sifted)
- 1 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar (packed light brown)
- 1/4 cup White granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
- 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
- 1 Large egg (room temperature)
- 18 Hershey Kisses
Instructions
- In a microwave safe bowl, add the peanut butter and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds to melt it. Add in the sifted powdered sugar and mix with a spoon until combined. It will thicken.
- Prep a cookie sheet with wax paper. Use a 1 teaspoon to scoop the peanut butter filling. Place on the cookie sheet with space between. Freeze for at least 30 minutes until completely solid.
- Unwrap the kisses and place in a bowl. Place in the freezer.
- In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Using a mixer in a separate bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and sugar on high speed for 2 minutes until pale and fluffy.
- Add the peanut butter, vanilla, and egg. Mix on medium until creamy. Add the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Let the cookie dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Use a small cookie scoop to scoop the dough. Press your thumb in the center. Place a frozen peanut butter dollop into the center. Cover it up, and remove from the scoop. Roll the cookie dough ball in your hands until smooth.
- Roll the cookie dough balls in sugar. Place 9 cookie dough balls per cookie sheet. Wait to do the rest of the cookie dough until ready to bake.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies sit on the pan for 3 minutes before topping with a frozen Hershey’s kiss in the center. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely.
