Here is how to make them… WET INGREDIENTS. In a large bowl, beat both sugars, peanut butter, butter, and egg, until well blended. Note: Both butter or margarine work with this recipe, but we like to use butter. DRY INGREDIENTS. Use a stand mixer, or a hand mixer, on medium speed to stir in flour, baking soda and baking powder until dough forms. ROLL DOUGH. Use cookie scoop or a spoon to scoop out the dough and then shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in additional granulated sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart. You can also line the cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. BAKE. Bake at 375 for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. KISSES. Immediately press 1 chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie. Remove the cookie from the baking sheet and place them on a wire rack to cool. Tip: Refrigerate dough prior to baking-cold dough helps keep them from spreading. It will also give a nicely done outside while leaving the center soft and chewy. VariationsEasily change up the type of kiss that you place on top.
