Ingredients
Cookie dough:
- 28 g salted butter
- 30 g smooth peanut butter
- 25 g granulated sugar
- 25 g light brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 small egg yolk
- 42 g all-purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
Other:
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar for rolling
- 8 milk chocolate kisses unwrapped

Instructions
Make the cookie dough:
- In a small bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until lightened and fluffy.
- Add in peanut butter and mix until combined.
- Mix in vanilla extract and egg yolk until smooth.
- Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt into the butter mixture, and mix until a soft dough forms.
Shape and bake:
- Divide dough and roll into 8 small balls, about 1 tablespoon each.
- Roll each ball in granulated sugar and place onto the baking sheet, spacing evenly.
- Bake at 375°F/191°C for 8-10 minutes, until edges are set but centers are slightly soft.
- Press an unwrapped chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie immediately after removing from the oven. The cookie will crack slightly around the edges.
- Decorate with festive nonpareils, if desired.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to completely cool before storing in an airtight container.
