Peanut Butter Hershey Cookies
Ingredients:
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1 cup white sugar
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 24 Hershey’s kisses, unwrapped
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, white sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated and form a thick cookie dough.
3. Take a tablespoon of the cookie dough and roll it into a ball. Place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this step with the remaining dough, spacing the dough balls about 2 inches apart.
4. Gently press a Hershey’s kiss into the center of each dough ball. The cookie dough will slightly flatten as you press the kiss down, and that’s perfectly fine!
5. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The kisses will soften but hold their shape.
6. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Enjoy these Peanut Butter Hershey Cookies warm with a glass of cold milk for a truly decadent treat!
