Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup butter (or shortening)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy not chunky)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 24 Kiss Chocolate candies

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two cookie trays with either parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside for later use.
  • Combine the butter, peanut butter, and both sugars into the bowl of a stand mixer that is fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, or until light and creamy. Scrape the sides of the bowl.
  • Add the egg, milk and vanilla. Stir for one more minute and then add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir for 1 minute, or until the dough forms.
  • Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough, I like to use a cookie scoop, and roll into a circle. Roll each dough ball into the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and place on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges begin to pull from the pan and the cookie is just lightly browned at the edges.
  • Immediately press one chocolate candy into the center of each cookie, while they are fresh from the oven. Remove from the pan to a wire rack and allow to cool.
