Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and creamy peanut butter until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate this into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  4. Take about 1-inch balls of dough, roll them smooth, and coat in granulated sugar before placing them on the baking sheets.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers are slightly puffy. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  6. Press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie while warm, then allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
