Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
4. Shape Cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and then roll each ball in granulated sugar. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven.
6. Add Hershey’s Kisses: Immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie while they are still warm. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
