Peanut Butter Kisses Cookies

Peanut Butter Kisses

Happy Cookie Friday!  These fun and delicious cookies are a total kid favorite, but adults can’t resist them either.  Who doesn’t love peanut butter and chocolate?   No chocolate kisses on hand?  Simply press an x with a fork into the top of each ball of dough before you bake them or stir 1 cup of chocolate chips into the dough for peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and bake as directed.

½ cup butter
1/3 cup peanut butter
½ cup sugar
½ cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
44 chocolate kisses, unwrapped
* extra granulated sugar for rolling dough balls in

 In electric mixer, cream butter and peanut butter.  Add sugar and beat until creamy.  Beat in egg and vanilla.  In separate bowl combine flour, salt, soda. Add to butter mixture and mix well.  Roll dough into 1 inch balls and roll into granulated sugar.  Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 8 minutes.  Remove from oven and top each cookie with a kiss and return to oven to bake for 3-5 more minutes, or until each kiss is slightly melted.  Remove from oven and cool.
