Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

24 chocolate kisses (unwrapped)

Instructions
 

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

    Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

      Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

        Flatten the Cookies: Using a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to flatten it slightly and create a crisscross pattern on the top.

          Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look a bit soft but will firm up as they cool.

            Add Kisses: Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

              Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, serve your delicious Peanut Butter Kisses with a glass of cold milk or your favorite beverage!
