Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and fully blended.
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form 1-inch balls of dough. Roll each ball in additional sugar if desired. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the cookies for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are just set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each warm cookie.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a slightly crispier texture, let the cookies bake an extra minute or two.
Crunchy peanut butter can be used for added texture.
Natural peanut butter will create a denser cookie but offers richer flavor.
Different chocolates like dark chocolate, white chocolate, or mini peanut butter cups can be used as variations.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
