Soft, chewy peanut butter cookies rolled in sugar and topped with a classic chocolate kiss. These nostalgic holiday treats are quick to make and always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (192g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar (for rolling)
  • 36 milk chocolate kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  3. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix on low until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Scoop dough into 1-inch balls (about 22g each). Roll each ball lightly between your hands.
  7. Pour 1/4 cup granulated sugar into a small bowl and roll each dough ball in the sugar to coat.
  8. Place dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until edges are set and tops begin to crack. Centers should still look soft.
  10. Immediately after baking, press a chocolate kiss gently into the center of each cookie.
  11. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely before stacking or serving.

Notes

For best results, use classic creamy peanut butter (not natural). Chill dough for 10-15 minutes if your kitchen is warm or dough is sticky. Roll in coarse sugar for extra sparkle. Cookies are best served at room temperature and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
