Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups 192g
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup 1 stick, 113g
  • ½ cup 100g
  • ½ cup 100g
  • ½ cup 120g
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 36 Hershey's Kisses, unwrapped

Equipment

  • Stand mixer or hand mixer
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mats
  • Cookie scoop (optional)
  • whisk
  • wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a stand mixer or hand mixer.
  4. Beat in the peanut butter until well combined. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar, coating evenly.
  7. Place the sugared dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers should still be slightly soft.
  9. Remove the baking sheets from the oven. Immediately press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading. Accurately measure all ingredients, especially flour, using the spoon and level method. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
