How to Bake Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies

Add chocolate to peanut butter cookies for a different taste. The flavors of peanut butter and chocolate work well together. Use one chocolate kiss per cookie. For the chocolate kiss, use either dark or milk chocolate; white chocolate doesn't provide the same flavor. If you want to make bigger cookies, use two teaspoon-sized scoops of dough, but only use one chocolate kiss.

Things You'll Need

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1 egg
• 1 1/4 cup flour
• 3/4 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• Mixing bowls
• Hand mixer
• Spoon
• Cooking sheets
• Cooking spray
• Cooling racks
• Flipper
• Bag of chocolate kisses

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

2. Pour the butter, sugar, brown sugar and egg in one bowl. Use the hand mixer to cream them together. Add the peanut butter and mix.

3. Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Add it to the butter and sugar. Mix until creamy.

4. Spray cooking spray on the cookie sheets.

5. Scoop 1 tsp. of cookie dough on the pans for each cookie.

6. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown. While the cookies bake, remove the wrappers of the chocolate kisses.

7. Remove the cookies from the oven. Put one chocolate kiss in the middle of each cookie. Remove the cookies and put them on cooling racks. The chocolate kisses will melt onto the top of the cookies. As the cookie cools, the melted chocolate will harden on top of the cookies.
