Peanut Butter Chocolate Kiss Cookies

Peanut Butter Chocolate Kiss Cookies

This is my FAVORITE cookie to make.  I love to make them at christmas time.  They are so easy and they taste so good.  

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cup Flour

1 tsp Baking Soda

1/2 tsp Salt

1/2 cup Butter or Margarine - softened

1 cup Peanut Butter - smooth

1/2 cup Sugar

1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar

1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

1 Egg

1 bag Milk Chocolate Kisses 

Mix together all ingredients EXCEPT the flour.  It doesn't matter in what order.  Once the ingredients are well blended gradually add in the flour.  Mix well.  Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.  Roll dough into 1.5 inch balls.  Roll each ball in sugar.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 18 minutes or until light golden brown on the bottom.  Press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.  They may crack and that is perfectly fine.  Return to oven for 1 minute   Remove from oven.  Let cool for about 2 minutes and then remove to a cooling rack.

Tips and Tricks

• Moving them to the cooling rack causes them to stop baking baking.  This will keep your cookie from being too tough.
• You want the bottoms to be very light brown.  Too dark and your cookies will be on the stiff side.
• It take the chocolate kisses a long time to set back up.  If I make these at night they are good to touch or stack by morning.
• I bought the white/milk chocolate swirl kisses by mistake one time.  They were a big hit.  People thought they were cute and my husband actually liked them better.
