Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter - softened
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar - packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Rolling
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar - for coating
For Topping
  • 48 pieces Hershey’s Kisses - unwrapped

Equipment

  • 1 Electric mixer (Hand or stand mixer)
  • 1 Cookie scoop (1-tablespoon size)
  • 2–3 Baking sheets
  • As needed Parchment paper
  • 1 Wire cooling rack
  • 1 Small bowl (For rolling sugar)

Method
 

  1. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl beat butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add egg, milk, and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients until just combined.
  2. Scoop dough into 1-tablespoon balls. Roll smooth in your hands. Coat each ball in granulated sugar.
  3. Place dough balls on parchment-lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake at 375°F for 8–10 minutes until edges are set but centers still soft.
  4. Immediately press one Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each hot cookie. Allow cookies to crack naturally around the edges.
  5. Cool 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack. Let chocolate set for 30 minutes before serving.
