Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup granulated sugar, plus additional for rolling

1 large egg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

24 Hershey's Kisses, unwrapped

Extra granulated sugar for rolling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, which will help prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.

    Create the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, the egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and sea salt. Using a spatula or an electric mixer, blend all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and cohesive dough.

      Shape the Dough: Take about 1 tablespoon of the dough and roll it into a compact ball using your hands. Once you’ve rolled a ball, gently coat it in extra granulated sugar, ensuring it is lightly covered.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Position the sugar-coated dough balls on your prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced approximately 2 inches apart to allow for expansion during baking.

          Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them; they should be lightly golden around the edges while the centers remain soft, creating that perfect chewy texture.

            Add the Hershey's Kisses: As soon as the cookies are done baking, take the baking sheet out of the oven. While the cookies are still warm, press a Hershey's Kiss firmly into the center of each cookie. This will create that delightful chocolate touch. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

              Savor the Flavor: Once cooled, indulge in your delightful Peanut Butter Kisses Cookies. They pair wonderfully with a glass of cold milk or your favorite beverage for a truly satisfying treat!
