Instructions

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt, egg, and vanilla until fully combined and smooth.

Fold in the peanut butter with a rubber spatula, mixing for about 2-3 minutes to until fully incorporated.

Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the cookie dough onto one baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze cookie dough for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll the frozen cookie dough in granulated sugar and place on the prepared baking sheet spaced about 2 inches apart.

Bake the cookies for 8 minutes or until barely golden on the edges. Immediately use a medium round cookie cutter or glass to scoot the edges of each cookie, making them perfectly round. Allow to cool for 2 minutes, then press a frozen kiss into each cookie. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chill Dough for Perfect Shape 🧊
Refrigerate the peanut butter dough for at least 30 minutes before scooping and rolling in sugar to prevent spreading and achieve thick, perfectly-shaped cookies with defined edges.
Toast the Sugar Coating ✨
Use a mixture of granulated and superfine sugar for rolling to create a delicate, lightly crisp exterior that caramelizes slightly in the oven for enhanced texture and flavor.
Time Your Kiss Placement ⏱️
Press chocolate kisses into cookies immediately after removing from the oven while the centers are still warm and slightly soft, ensuring the chocolate adheres perfectly and creates a beautiful finished look.
Balance Peanut Butter Quality 🥜
Use natural peanut butter with minimal added sugar and oils to achieve authentic peanut flavor and better dough structure; avoid over-mixing once combined to keep cookies tender and chewy.
Master the Gluten-Free Ratio 📏
Without gluten's structure, slightly increase baking soda by 10-15% and ensure your brown sugar and granulated sugar ratio is precise (typically 1:1) to provide moisture and proper rise for optimal texture.
