Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in creamy peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  4. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, coat each ball in granulated sugar, and arrange them on prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers look puffy. Remove from oven.
  6. Gently press a milk chocolate Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each warm cookie.
  7. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
