Equipment
Ingredients
- 106 g (½ cup) brown sugar
- 50 g (¼ cup) granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 egg, room temp
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 270 g (1 cup) peanut butter, thick & creamy
- 50 g (¼ cup) granulated sugar, for rolling
- 18 chocolate kisses, frozen
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt, egg, and vanilla until fully combined and smooth.
- Fold in the peanut butter with a rubber spatula, mixing for about 2-3 minutes to until fully incorporated.
- Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the cookie dough onto one baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze cookie dough for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the frozen cookie dough in granulated sugar and place on the prepared baking sheet spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 8 minutes or until barely golden on the edges. Immediately use a medium round cookie cutter or glass to scoot the edges of each cookie, making them perfectly round. Allow to cool for 2 minutes, then press a frozen kiss into each cookie. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Notes
- Freeze the kisses. Unwrap and freeze the chocolate kisses for at least 15 minutes. This will ensure they hold their shape when pressed into the warm cookies!
- Use a cookie scoop. Use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough into equally sized cookies!
- Freeze the portioned cookie dough. To ensure the cookies bake up thick, don't skip the freeze time!
- Scoot the cookies. Immediately after the cookies come out of the oven, use a large round cookie cutter or glass to scoot the edges and form a perfectly round cookie.
