Why measure in grams?
If you ask any bakery how they measure, most will say they measure in grams. Measuring by weight is more reliable for desserts because some recipes don’t specify if you should pack your ingredients and do not take into account how different people measure their ingredients.
A common mistake people make in measuring ingredients is when measuring brown sugar. Brown sugar is clumpier than normal sugar because it is mixed with molasses. 100 grams of white sugar is equivalent to 100 grams of packed brown sugar—though most people don’t pack their brown sugar the same way, so you will most likely not get the same measurement unless using a scale.
Food scales are such an amazing and cheap investment to make for your kitchen because they will allow you to copy recipes perfectly because they are far more reliable and allow you to not use as many dishes! Click here to order a food scale!
Mix together your butter (melted), granulated sugar, and peanut butter.
Step 2
Add in vanilla extract until combined.
Step 3
Mix in dry ingredients—All-purpose flour and baking soda—until mixture is partially smooth.
Step 4
Use your hands to squish the thick dough together and scoop 1 tbsp balls.
Split this tbsp of cookie dough into 3 and roll them into balls. Repeat for remaining cookie dough.
Step 5
Roll peanut butter cookie dough balls in granulated sugar until well-coated.
Step 6
Place cookie dough balls onto a parchment paper lined baking pan and bake cookies or 6-7 minutes.
Once cookies are baked, let them chill in the fridge/freezer for 10-15 minutes.
Step 7
Heat up melting chocolate (or you can heat up chocolate chips) in 30 second intervals. You may need to do 2-4 intervals depending on your microwave power.
Place melted chocolate into a piping bag.
Remove cookies from fridge and flip them upside-down. Pipe a dollop of melting chocolate on the under-side of your cookies. Smoosh a Hershey kiss on top. Repeat for all cookies.
Once Hershey kisses are fully stuck on your cookies, repeat the above step for the top side of your cookies using regular chocolate chips.
Step 8
Let cool for 10-15 minutes and you’re done!
Eat fresh or store in air-tight container (chilled or at room temperature) for up to 10 days!
