They say that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. I’m tempted to believe that the way to a woman’s heart is with chocolate. These peanut butter kiss cookies are easy to make and don’t have any strange, hard, to find ingredients. I was 10 or 12 the first time I made peanut butter kiss cookies. I baked them for my valentine–my dad.
- 2 2/3 c. flour
- 2 t. baking soda
- 1 t. salt
- 1 c. butter
- 2/3 c. creamy peanut butter (I prefer crunchy)
- 1 c. white sugar
- 1 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
- 2 eggs
- 2 t. vanilla
- additional sugar (for rolling the dough balls in, I like to use red sugar for Valentine’s day)
- 5 doz. kisses Unwrapped.
Mix flour, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Add butter and peanut butter and mix. Add sugars, beat until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mix until smooth.
Using a spoon, make balls out of the dough. Add extra flour if the dough is too sticky. Roll the dough balls in the additional sugar.
place dough about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8 minutes in a preheated 375°F oven.
Remove from oven and press 1 kiss into the center of each cookie. Return sheet to oven and bake 2 more minutes.
