Soft Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies

Directions

Step 1

Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium size bowl add the flour, baking soda and salt. Whisk and set aside.

Step 3

In a mixer with a paddle attachment (or handheld mixer) add the softened butter and sugars. Mix on a medium speed for one minute.

Step 4

With the mixer running on low add the eggs, peanut butter and vanilla. Mix until ingredients are mixed all together.

Step 5

Place dough in a covered dish in the refrigerator for 2 hours to chill. While the dough is chilling, remove wrappings from Hershey kisses and set aside.

Step 6

Remove dough from the refrigerator and let sit for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350℉

Step 7

Use a medium size cookie scoop and then roll dough into balls. Place the cookies on the lined cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Using your finger gently press into the middle of each cookie. Just enough to leave a slight impression where you will place the Hershey Kiss.

Step 8

Bake for 10 minutes, remove from the oven and immediately place a Hershey Kiss into the middle of each cookie. Let sit for 2 minutes on the baking sheet then remove to a cooling rack to completely cool.
