Chocolate Kiss Cookies
These cookies not only look fantastic but taste incredible too. The combination of chocolate and peanut butter will surely satisfy your sweet tooth. Whether you’re baking for a party or just for fun, these cookies are sure to impress!
Ingredients
To make these indulgent Chocolate Kiss Cookies, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 24 chocolate kisses (unwrapped)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your own batch of Chocolate Kiss Cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Blend until well combined and smooth.
- Add in the egg, vanilla extract, and baking soda, and mix until everything is well incorporated.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. The heat from the cookie will melt the chocolate slightly, creating a deliciously gooey topping.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Chocolate Kiss Cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can also be stored in an airtight container for several days. Whether you’re savoring them with a cup of coffee or sharing them with friends, they are sure to be a hit. Happy baking!
