Ingredients
Method
Step 1: Prep
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and peanut butter until smooth.
Step 2: Add the Vanilla
- Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- Add in the all-purpose flour and baking soda, mixing until a thick dough forms (it doesn’t need to be perfectly smooth).
Step 4: Shape the Dough
- Use your hands to gently squish the dough together. Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough, divide it into 3 pieces, and roll each into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough.
Step 5: Sugar Coat
- Roll each peanut butter cookie dough ball in granulated sugar until fully coated.
Step 6: Bake & Chill
- Place dough balls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 6–7 minutes. Once baked, transfer cookies to the fridge or freezer for 10–15 minutes to firm up.
Step 7: Add the Chocolate & Kisses
- Melt chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag.
- Flip chilled cookies upside down and pipe a dollop of melted chocolate on the bottom of each cookie. Press a Hershey’s Kiss on top.
- Once set, repeat on the top side of the cookies using regular chocolate chips.
Step 8: Set & Enjoy
- Let cookies cool and set for 10–15 minutes. Enjoy fresh or store in an airtight container at room temperature or chilled for up to 10 days.
