Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, beat 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the brown sugar, peanut butter, butter and egg with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon, until well blended. Stir in flour, baking soda and baking powder until dough forms.
  • 2
    Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in additional granulated sugar. On ungreased cookie sheets, place about 2 inches apart.
  • 3
    Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Immediately press 1 milk chocolate candy in center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack.

  • For more festive fun, roll the cookies in coarse sparkling sugar or colored decorating sugar before baking.
  • Trade the chocolate kiss candies for mini peanut butter cups or a chunk of caramel-filled chocolate bar for a delicious twist.
  • Use a cookie scoop to keep your dough balls all the same size. Cookies bake best when they are uniform in size and shape.
