Six peanut butter cookies rolled in sugar and topped with a chocolate kiss as they come out of the oven.

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar divided (2 tbsp for dough, 1 tbsp for rolling)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp salted butter softened
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ⅛ tsp baking powder
  • 6 unwrapped chocolate Kisses

Directions

  • Heat the oven to 375°F.
  • Beat 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar with the brown sugar, peanut butter, butter, and egg yolk until well mixed.
  • Stir in the flour, baking soda, and baking powder until a soft dough forms.
  • Roll the dough into six 1-inch balls and roll each in the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar. Set them 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are light golden. As soon as they come out of the oven, press a chocolate Kiss into the center of each cookie.
  • Move them to a rack and let them cool for about 30 minutes, until the chocolate sets.
