Baking holiday cookie recipes from scratch is one of my sons’ favorite aspects of this season. (Of course, they like to eat them even more!) As I went through my cookie recipe archives, I realized that I never shared my recipe for “Kiss Cookies” with you. Here it is…
Kiss Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter (I use smooth.)
- 1 cup sugar (plus a little extra to roll the peanut butter balls in)
- 1 egg
- Hershey’s chocolate kisses
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Stir the peanut butter, cup of sugar and egg together in a medium bowl.
- Using your hands, roll the dough into small balls – approximately 1 inch each. Cover the balls with a light coating of sugar. (You can put some sugar in a plastic bag, drop a couple of the balls in at a time and gently shake them. As another option, you can just put some sugar on a plate and roll the balls in it.)
- Place the rolled dough on the parchment covered cookie sheet. Place them a couple of inches apart so that they have room to expand as they bake. To get that criss-cross pattern on your cookies, simply press each ball of dough down with a fork both horizontally and vertically.
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven.
- Place one unwrapped Hershey’s chocolate kiss in the middle of each cookie. Gently press the kisses down and let the cookies cool.
