Servings: 18 cookies
Author: Gemma Stafford
Ingredients
  • 1 large egg , at room temperature
  • 1 ¼ cup (10 oz/284 g) creamy peanut butter
  • ⅔ cup (5 oz/142 g) plus ⅓ cup (2 ½ oz/71 g) granulated sugar
  • 18 Hershey's Kisses , unwrapped
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C), fan assist, and line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, peanut butter, and ⅔ cup (5 oz/142 g) sugar until a dough forms.
  3. Place the remaining ⅓ cup (2 ½ oz/71 g) sugar in a small plate.

  4. Divide the dough into 18 equal portions about 1 ½ tablespoons (1 oz/28 g).

  5. Roll each portion into a ball, then roll in the sugar and arrange 2-inches (5 cm) apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes,or until set on the edges and puffed in the middle.

  7. Remove from the oven and immediately press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie. Let set and cool completely on the baking sheets.

  8. Enjoy with a glass of milk! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 days.

Recipe Notes
  • Right egg: The size of the egg really matters in this recipe. Use a large egg to ensure the cookies don't come out dry, hard, or crumbly.
  • Peanut butter pick: For best results, use a thicker peanut butter here, like Skippy or Jif. Natural peanut butter (the looser, drippier type) could make the dough too sticky or the cookies spread too much.
  • Be prepared: Unwrap the Hershey's Kisses before baking the cookies, so you can add them quickly before they cool down.
  • Square option: Hershey's Kisses are traditional on these cookies, but you can also press on a square of your favorite eating chocolate instead.
  • Baking tip: If you don’t have a convection oven, preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and bake one sheet of cookies at a time.
  • Chocolate options: You don't have to stick with milk chocolate Hershey's Kisses! Use the dark chocolate variety, caramel-filled Kisses, or Hugs (milk and white chocolate swirled).
