The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 1/2 cup butter (or shortening, room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (firmly-packed) brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 48 Hershey Kisses (chocolate candies, unwrapped)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter or shortening and peanut butter until light and fluffy.  Gradually add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and brown sugar; beating until light and fluffy.  Add egg, milk, and vanilla extract; beat well.  Add flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into creamed mixture until well mixed.
  • Roll cookie dough into 1-inch balls; roll balls in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar.  Place balls, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  • There are two popular ways to cook these cookies.  Take your pick:
  • Bake 8 minutes.  Remove from oven; press a chocolate kiss candy into the center of each cookie.  Return to oven and bake another 2 minutes or until cookies are light brown.  Remove from oven and remove from cookie sheet; let cookies cool on wire cooling racks.
  • Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.  Remove from oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie (cookie will crack around edges).  Remove from cookie sheet and let cookies cool on wire cooling racks.
