Ingredients
- 1/3 cup softened butter
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (128 grams--we find it easiest to measure peanut butter by weight right in the bowl)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- (White sugar for dusting)
- Bag of Hershey Kisses, or similar shaped chocolate candy
Technique
- Pre-heat oven to 375ºF
- Cream together the butter, peanut butter and brown sugar. (We do this in a stand mixer.)
- Add the egg and vanilla, mix until combined
- Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl and add to the other mixture. Combine thoroughly.
- Roll the dough into small balls (a rounded teaspoon is a good start), optionally roll around in white sugar and place on a lined baking sheet. We use a SILPAT, but parchment paper works as well.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, the cookies will have puffed up and be golden brown.
- Top each cookie with a Hershey Kiss, pressing down lightly so that the candy becomes part of the cookie
Notes
- Cookie size is variable, but since the dough will puff up in the oven we use a fairly small size (approximately 1 1/2 tsp).
- These freeze surprisingly well
