Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

24 Hershey's Kisses, unwrapped

Extra granulated sugar for rolling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Mix Peanut Butter Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Mix well using a spatula or electric mixer until fully incorporated into a smooth dough.

      Form Dough Balls: Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a tight ball between your palms. Roll each ball in extra granulated sugar to coat them lightly.

        Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

          Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.

            Add Hershey's Kisses: Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and immediately press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

              Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy your delicious Peanut Butter Kisses with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
